Hi!
Is it right using of “in addition/additionally” in the below mentioned sentence? I am not sure, but I want to add something similar in the end of it with meaning that we inform you after receiving the funds.
“We inform you about receiving the funds in addition/additionally”
I appreciate any comments.
I would place the phrase at the beginning of the sentence:
In addition/Additionally we inform you when we have received the funds.
Thanks.
It’s a good idea to place it at the beginning. Should I put in a comma after in addition?
Is it correct if I also say: Additionally we will inform you when we receive the funds.
What’s more correctly?
The comma is unnecessary, but you can add it if you choose. It will serve to emphasise that this is an additional service but will add “clutter” to the text.
Your alternative sentence is correct too. I think I’d prefer this tense for speaking about what will happen when an order is placed, though the present tense is more ‘active’.
Beeesneees, thank you. Your explanations are very helpful for me.
We will additionally inform you when we receive the funds.
Why wouldn’t I put the adverb additionally in between the auxiliary and the lexical verb.
Thanks
Because it sounds awkward and stilted.
BN, what is your opinion about split infinitives?
In addition, I am not notified about answered topics in which I 'd participated. Please administrator do something about it. Thanks
From what I can make out the problem arose when prescriptive grammarians laid down that as the Latin infinitive, being one word, is unsplittable, then the English infinitive, although two words, should be unsplittable too. Why Latin should have been used as the standard when the English language is Germanic is open to debate. The thing is that sometimes splitting the infinitive is the clearest, most concise way of putting something. Technically it is considered incorrect but is allowable in fiction in order to indicate a certain stress or idea.To me, the most important issue is “does it make sense?”
Can you suggest an alternative to splitting the infinitive in this sentence that would be clearer than the way it is written?
