Doubt about tenses Thu Apr 07, 2005 20:51 pm  Doubt about tenses		  
When replying to an email that I was sent last week, should I say "I was glad to hear from you"or "I am glad to hear from you". When should use either of them?

If you refer to something in the past, then you use the past. I was glad (at that time) to hear from you.
