覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
sending は send「送る・送信する」に -ing を付けた現在分詞・動名詞で、send の d を重ねずそのまま付ける。I am sending an email なら進行中、Thanks for sending the file なら「送ってくれたこと」。send A to B「AをBへ送る」の型と一緒に覚える。
Begin with send, meaning to cause something to go to a person or destination. Add -ing directly—there is no doubled d—to make sending. In I am sending an email, it is a present participle showing an action in progress. In Thanks for sending the file, it is a gerund naming the action. Remember the common pattern send something to someone: a photo, message, email, or package moves from the sender toward its recipient. This simple movement links both physical delivery and electronic transmission.
例文
I am sending an email now.
私は今メールを送信しています。
She is sending a photo to her friend.
彼女は友だちに写真を送っています。
Thanks for sending the file so quickly.
ファイルをすぐに送ってくれてありがとうございます。

sending の語源・成り立ち Etymology
sending は send「送る」に動名詞・現在分詞語尾 -ing が付いた形で、語源は古英語 sendan にさかのぼります。さらにゲルマン系で「行かせる・差し向ける」という感覚を持つ語で、send-off や messenger を見ると意味の芯がつかめます。
Sending consists of send and the participial or gerund suffix -ing. Send comes from Old English sendan, a Germanic verb meaning to cause someone or something to go, dispatch, or convey. The core idea of making something move toward a destination remains visible in modern uses involving people, parcels, messages, and electronic files. English forms sending by adding -ing directly to send without changing or doubling the final consonant.
