These are correct:
A: I want to think of it the same way (that) you do. B: I can be notified only by/via e-mail. C: I can only be notified by/via e-mail. _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

May I know why "through" is incorrect and why we remove the article "an" ?
Thanks again Mister Micawber. |

Hi Nie,
'Through' is too mechanical in its meaning because we are talking about a common process (email) in the same way as you would say: by phone/by letter/by telegram. Similarly you wouldn't use an article unless you are talking about a particular email. Again this is analogous to by car/by ship/by taxi and so on.
Are we going to hear you on a recording again soon?

Hello Alan,
I had wanted to include a recording in each of my post, but unfortunately I can't figure out a way to make it possible with the built-in mic on my notebook. For some reasons, it won't detect my voice anymore. I tried changing the audio settings but nothing happens. :( Hopefully, I can have this fixed, so I can post another recording.
Thanks for answering my post :) |
