"thank you" + infinitive #1 (permalink) Mon Oct 23, 2006 10:42 am   "thank you" + infinitive
 

Hi there!

I have some doubts regarding infinitive "thank you" sentences:

which of the following alternatives are correct?

---------------------------------------
Many thanks having joined us

or

Many thanks FOR having joined us

----------------------------------------
Thank you having joined us

or

Thank you FOR having joined us

or maybe are infinitive "thank you" sentences never used?

Thanks!!!:D

Hi Alex

Thanks for having joined us is correct.
(You need the word for.)

You could also say:
Thanks for joining us.
(I think this sounds more natural.)
