Talking about Email | English with Jennifer

[Subject:] New YouTube playlist on writing email

Looks good. Send.

We all write email.

It's part of our daily communication.

Maybe you already have some experience

writing email in English,

but I bet you still have some questions and doubts.

In this series of videos, I'll give tips and models

for writing both personal and business email.

First off, let's talk about email correctly.

Is the word "email" a noun or a verb?

Both.

Let's take a look at some examples.

First, as a verb.

As a noun.

Note how we can use it as a countable or uncountable noun.

Finally, we can use "email" as a noun modifier.

We can use it before another noun, like an adjective.

Now let me give you some useful phrases.

How would you ask for someone's email address?

If you want to give your address to someone,

you could say something like this.

Do you know what it means to shoot someone an email?

It's an informal way of saying "send someone an email."

So you can say something like this.

Sometimes we promise to send an email.

You can say something like this.

Well, I have to check my email.

So that's all for now.

Happy studies!
