What are they talking about? No.1

Practice acting out the dialogue.
Zak: Did you check your ________? I sent you something yesterday.
Ruby: No, I only go through it once or twice a day, and I haven’t had time today.
Zak: I know what you mean. I receive so much in a day it’s impossible to read them all, let alone reply to them.
Ruby: Yeah, and I get loads of them that are not for me, just in copy, so I delete without even opening them.

Since i submitted to this website, i hadn’t time or interest for what i could learn. But i think now i will do my best to ameliorate my level.Thanks so much for that opportunity Jonathan and good day
Samia,
Good question! In fact, it is possible, and correct, to say both. The dictionary entries I consulted had both ‘email’ and ‘e-mail’ and didn’t express a preference. I think ‘e-mail’ is better, as the letter e is separate – it stands for ‘electronic’. But that’s just my personal view, and certainly not a rule.
do we write e-mail or email?
je suis très satisfait des cours que je reçois depuis que j’ai rejoins votre site.
SALUTATIONS SINCERES
That is very good this lesson ; I can continue with that .THANKS
merci une fois de plus
