Hello,
Please read the following sentences:
1. After I finish the project, I will get in touch with you by e-mail.
After I finish the project, I will keep in touch with you by e-mail.
Are they the same?
2. Is there any difference between "e-mails" and "e-mail messages"?
3. Is there any difference in saying "to send emails" and "to send out emails"?
Thanks a lot!!!! |

1-- get in touch may be for the first time; keep in touch means repeated communications.
2-- No
3-- Not really. Out suggests that they may be mass mailings.

[/i]get in touch and keep in touch
Get in touch means that I will contact you once, after the project is completed.
Keep in touch, or Stay in touch means that I will continue to contact you from time to time, to keep up the relationship between us.
