|
|
Hello all,
Is there any grammatical mistake in each of the following sentence?
1. Out of the 40 e-mails that I was required to send, I have only sent 20
of them.
2. We cannot deliver the goods to you until Friday.
Many thanks! |

I think it would take fewer words to say, "I have only sent 20 e-mails out of the 40 that I was required to send."
The second sentence is correct. |
