A. An email
1 We can begin an informal email
or letter with Hi Beth, Hello Beth,
or Dear Beth.
2 a funny person
3 planning or intending to
4 make contact, e.g. by phone, email or
text
5 want (to see) infml
6 say hello to Conrad from me; also send
my regards to Conrad. With family
members and very close friends we also
say give / send my love to.
7 again, as before (here it is used to say
thank you one more time)
8 We can end an informal email/letter to
a close friend or family member with
Love or Lots of love. We also often use
Best wishes or All the best when we
end a letter or email to a friend.
B. Messaging
Language help
We can use actually to give more exact
information, as in the letter (syn in
fact). We also use it a great deal in
spoken English to say something which
is surprising or different from what you
expect, e.g. He looks Italian, but
actually he’s not. (Syn in fact)
Actually does not mean at the moment,
e.g. The land is currently for sale (NOT
The land is actually for sale).
