One might think that there is no link between the construction or the relevance of e-mails with grammatically correct sentences and carrying out the duties of the contractor. It is acceptable to the receivers (in this case is our customers). For customers purchasing their products or use their services, they have confidence in their emailing abilities. Using correct grammar is important to make a positive impression.
The same thing applies to internal correspondence listed in a company. Employees of other departments in a company know anything about the work we do, but they can learn English grammar. And we can quickly point, but remember that English grammar is used correctly.
Because space prohibits a lengthy discussion on grammar, here is a brief discussion on an issue of common grammar. Beware of these errors when creating e-mails.
* Fewer or less
Determine if the word “little” or the word “less frequent” can be difficult. Here are two techniques to help.
1. Method of Quantifiable
It is a technique called the method of quantify. Ask ourselves if the sum of individual items (for example apples, paper clips, calculators) or you cannot count the number (for example food, time and patience.)
• If you expect the product, use the word “less”.
• If the score is not included, use the word “less”.
You can count the number of e-mails you receive. And most people want less news because they want to spend less time on e-mail.
2. Method of much more or much
This technique is the second to determine if the word “child” or the word “little.” This method is a little bit strange to use; however, words of well, extravagant and fun make it easier to remember.
* Little
We should be able to determine when “small” and “minor” are in use. This illustrates both the method for quantifying and fun to use “important or very important” method. Determine also when the use of “less” or “minus” are most appropriately applicable.
1. Method of Quantifiable
• If you expect the product, use the “less”. For example: There are fewer than six vehicles in the parking lot.
• If you do not count the points you use “less”. For example: We had the car less fuel than we thought.
2. Method of much more or much
• To be “great” and “minus”. For example: You have many students.
Therefore, students have less and less.
• If you are using, “long” and less “. For example: I have a long time.
Therefore, I have less time.
Whichever method we use, have the impression that we are aware that our e-mail. They suffer less stress if we could get more customers and employees will be maintained by a professional.
