Don't get mad at me. I did not invite a thousand people to our wedding. All I did was creating a link and sended it.

Solution

Correct Option: 2

Clue: The underlined part has two problems: wrong verb form after 'all I did was' AND the non-word 'sended'.

Rule: After 'all I did was', use the BARE INFINITIVE (no 'to').

Answer: Option 2 - 'create a link and send it'.

OptionProblem
to create...and sent itmixes infinitive with past tense
create a link and send itcorrect - parallel bare infinitives
created...and sent itwrong tense after 'all I did WAS'
creating...and sending itgerunds possible but the standard pattern here is the bare infinitive

Tip: Test by substitution. 'All I did was (verb)' takes the same verb form as 'I did (verb)'.
