Hello everybody,
Could you help me please about these sentences?
Hello Lara,
hope you are well.
Before my leaving I tried
- to catch you (in your office, mobile phone) to say good bye/for saying good bye
OR
-to pass in your office and contact you at mobile phone to say good bye/for saying good bye
A lot of warm regards to Helen and Jonh, also from Riccardo.
Request: Can I use TO CATCH instead of TO PASS and TO CONTACT in the formal form?
Is it correct this sentence?
Thanks very much,
Best Regards,
Lara
Correct: I tried to catch you in your office to say goodbye.
Correct: I tried to catch you on your mobile phone to say goodbye.
Incorrect: ...... for saying goodbye.
Correct: I tried to pass by your office to say goodbye.
Incorrect: I tried to pass your office to say goodbye.
Correct: I tried to contact you on your mobile phone to say goodbye.
Incorrect: I tried to contact you at mobile phone to say goodbye.
"catch" is informal. "contact" is formal.
