Are these usages correct?
Can you send me a litre of milk? Yes. It will have been sent in the next three hours. |

Hi,
Here you need the future form and not the future perfect form because the action of 'sending' is going to happen and has not yet happened as: It will be sent in the next three hours.

I want a few sentences on using send and sent - Past tense, present tense and future tense forms. The parcel WAS sent yesterday. I am sending the parcel now. The parcel WILL be sent tomorrow.
Hope this helps.

Hi, What are the differences between passive voice and active voice sentences? I mean why do we indicate for activeness or passiveness? What the point of doing that?

Yeah. I think nowadays, grammarians rarely explain for what the passive form is used. In my opinion, most of the passive is used in order to hide the doers's name i.e they don't want to mention it for a certain reason. _________________ Let my English be checked! |
