 Writing a letter Thank you for your letter. I answered as soon as I could. What would be better? Thank you, Mia |

| Re: Writing a letter It sounds better. What about I am answering as soon as I can? Would you please explain, why do I have to use the past tense in the second part of the sentence? |

| Re: Writing a letter 'could' sounds better to me- the act or replying is present because you are actually writing it now, but the opportunity arose before you sat down to write.  |
