I suggest, "When can we expect to receive the required item."
The word 'here' in that sentence sounds 'odd' though is not strictly incorrect.
By the way, your subject should read "Kindly advise me."
advice - noun advise - verb. _________________ Cheers m' dears! |

Hi Beeesneees,
Thanks for your kind advise, and is it meaningful or meaningless sentence? could you please tell me the use of 'Here', how could I use the word?
Thanks Thiya |

I replied to the OP earlier this morning, suggesting that "When can we expect to receive the required item?" might flow better.
Did my post get deleted or did it just never arrive? ___________ EDIT: Mystery solved! The OP asked exactly the same question in a different thread!! I've just found it. _________________ Cheers m' dears! |

LOL Torsten, you merged them as I was trying to send a reply in the other thread! I became very confused when I got the error message, "Sorry only can post here." closely followed by no such topic exists! :D __________________________________ Hi Thiyages.
Your first sentence ("When can we expect the required item here?") is grammatically correct and demonstrates correct use of the word 'here'. My alternative is simply a suggestion that you might use to make the sentence flow smoother.
"I advised you." advise=verb "I gave you advice." advice= noun You selected the wrong one again in your reply. "Thanks for your kind __" requires a noun, so you need to use the word 'advice'. _________________ Cheers m' dears! |
