You are all correct, sort of...
To send, Will send, are actually future tenses.
Adding the "ing" makes it the present tense, is sending, am sending.
But send can express the past tense as well as in, did send.
Sent is always past tense.
Just to be clear!

"Send" is present tense.
"Sent" is past tense (or it can be used in the past perfect tense)
For example,
1. I send the letter. (Present tense)
2. I just sent the letter. (Past tense)
3. I have sent the letter yesterday. (Past perfect tense)
