| Nov 4, 2020 at 5:26 | comment | added | Dhanishtha Ghosh | @FumbleFingersReinstateMonica Even I thought of the sentence you have suggested here. It is colloquial one. But that doesn't indicate past event. That is something happening now (present action). Hence I refrained from including that. | |

Also, in the vast majority of contexts where you might use any of them, a native speaker would more likely just say I see you sent me some pictures. | |
