Hello Fajr,

"At school, I learned French along with English." would be a better way of phrasing your first sentence.

"Please apologize to your wife for me." is correct. It means 'please say sorry to your wife on my behalf'. (Used where the writer/speaker is unable to apologise in person for some reason.)

Hi Fajr,

This is a form of address:

Quote:
Mr. whoever you are?


You say this when you don't know the name of the person but when you are saying this to someone, you are being impolite because it suggests you can't be bothered to find out the person's actual name.

Hi Fajr,

In addition to Alan's and Beeesneees' replies please take to hear the following: What is a meaningful message title and why is it important?

Many thanks,
