Learn English – Inquiring whether there was a response to email

sentence-construction

My friend sent an email to somewhere and I just want to know if they responded to him. What is the right way to ask it?

Can I ask:

Did you get email back?

If not, what would be an acceptable way?

Best Answer

If you are unsure of which person exactly he mailed to, you should avoid using he/she/they and try using a different construction like in the examples below:

  • Have you received a response (to your e-mail)?
  • Did you get a reply?
  • Did you receive an answer?

If you do know who is supposed to reply to his e-mail, use he/she/they. Here are a few examples:

  • Did they reply to your e-mail?
  • Did he give you a response?
  • Did she answer you?
  • Have they answered your e-mail?
  • Has he replied to your e-mail?
