How to Say "it sent" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “it sent” is “envió” — A1 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples
Mi jefe me **envió** un correo electrónico a medianoche.
My boss **sent** me an email at midnight.
Ella **envió** la solicitud antes de la fecha límite.
She **sent** the application before the deadline.
¿Quién **envió** este regalo anónimo?
Who **sent** this anonymous gift?
The Meaning of the Accent
The accent mark on the 'ó' in envió is essential. It tells you the action of sending finished completely at a specific moment in the past. Without it (envio), it is the present tense 'I send' (Yo envío).
Who is 'He/She/It'?
This form (envió) works for él (he), ella (she), ello (it), and usted (the formal 'you'). The context will usually tell you which person is doing the sending.
Missing the Accent in the Past
Mistake: “El cartero envio la carta ayer.”
Correction: El cartero **envió** la carta ayer. (The accent confirms the past tense, otherwise it looks like the 'yo' form.)
