. The first one is not a sentence; it is a fragment. Replace the period with a comma. Replace through with them by. . _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

Hi Swami
Just to summarize, ;) you can write any of the following:
If you would like to see my medical transcripts, I will send you them by email.
If you would like to see my medical transcripts, I will send them to you by email.
If you would like to see my medical transcript, I will send it to you by email.
Hi Tamara
In your sentence. did you leave out the word "would" intentionally or was that just a typo?
I ask because I got the feeling you might have been thinking of the "standard" IF-sentence "rules" --- which don't apply in this case. :shock:

Hi Amy,
Your feeling was right: it wasn’t a typo, but my full-fledged :) mistake. I quite often - easily, carelessly (and interchangeably :)) - use both: the correct form 'If you would like' and the wrong one (wrong - in this context) 'If you like'.
Thank you, Amy. As now I'm quite ashamed for that, hopefully it’ll help. :)
