The message has been sent to you successfully + 5 options.

[fenglish]

Hi,

I am sending a message to someone's mailbox, after I have sent the message, I would skype someone and write the following message to her (I have used "Message" as subject):

1). The message has been sent to you successfully.
2). The message has sent to you successfully.
3). The message is sent to you successfully.
4). The message was sent to you successfully.
5). The message sent to you successfully.

Sometimes, I will use one of the above sentence, but don't know which is wrong.
Please help to explain one by one and tell me which is correct or incorrect and why?

Thanks.

1). Correct.
2). Incorrect, the message didn't send anything.
3). Incorrect, wrong tense.
4). Correct.
5). Incorrect, for the same reason as 2)

I think 5) is correct???
Because I can say like that: The message (which) sent to you successfully.

3). Incorrect, wrong tense.

I asked a similar question in this thread. It seemed that the present tense "is" was not wrong.

Your last post in that thread gives a wrong conclusion. The passive voice is not necessary.
Also, the verb there was "upload" not "send", which can make a difference.

I thought you wanted to tell the person that you had sent the message. "The message (which) sent to you successfully", isn't a sentence.

I don't think it is natural to say "The message is sent to you successfully."
To say that "the file is uploaded" is not the same just because the tense is.

I meant the passive voice was needed in the context in my email, not in that thread.

I think he's trying to use 'sent' intransitively. "When you press 'Send', sometimes a message sends, and sometimes it doesn't". I'm not sure that the dictionaries have caught up with that one yet.

I know; it's a very short 3-post thread. I read it. Rover told you, and three people agreed (I'm the fourth) that the passive was not needed in the context of your email. You were told it could be used (or you could use it, whichever you prefer).

 

[Matthew Wai]

the passive was not needed in the context of your email.

You have never read my email, why do you think the passive voice was not needed?

 

[Raymott]

Ah, I see. That's true; I haven't read your email. But you told us the relevant details, otherwise how could Rover have answered your question? In any case, if you continue to claim that the passive was necessary, I suppose it must have been.

 

[Matthew Wai]

"The message (which) sent to you successfully", isn't a sentence.

A possible sentence may be "have you received the message (which was) sent to you successfully?"

I didn't tell any details. If you want the details, please make a new post there lest this thread be hijacked.

Yes, if I added the (which), then it sounds isn't a sentence (The message successfully), thank you for your answer.

I didn't tell any details. Always use bare-infinitive after "did". As an aside note, unless you want it to look like a system generated response, I can't think of an instance where passive form would be necessary. It's your choice, though.

Thanks. It was a careless mistake, which was corrected.
You may make a post there, then I will tell you the instance.
