You had sent it through DHL yesterday is this sentence correct?

The sentence "You had sent it through DHL yesterday" is grammatically correct, but it might be a bit awkward depending on the context. Here's why:

* Tense: The past perfect tense ("had sent") suggests the sending happened before another past event. If you're just stating a fact about the package being sent, the simple past tense is more natural: "You sent it through DHL yesterday."

* Context: The sentence is missing information about who "you" refers to. It's unclear who sent the package.

Here are some better ways to phrase it:

* "You sent it through DHL yesterday, right?" (This is a question, but sounds more natural in conversation.)

* "I understand you sent it through DHL yesterday." (This clearly states the recipient of the information.)

* "The package was sent through DHL yesterday." (This avoids ambiguity about the sender.)

Choose the sentence that best fits the specific context of your conversation.
