| Sentences 1.3 and 2.3 are the correct choices, in my opinion. |

| 1.1 is fine too, and 1.2 is probably okay grammatically but sounds odd. |

| 1.2) I see the sentence such as gramatically incorrect one. 1.3 is gramatically correct, I think, but there is no need to repeat those auxiliaries which carry the same aspect of the tense which has already been expresed in the first clause. The sentence has been made of two clauses which are connected using conjuction and such as an connector. 2.1) I am late letting you know after I got the message. 2.2) I should let you know right on time. (at the moment when I've got it) 2.3) I think, the aspect is in use but in my opinion isn't exactly the right one. ( 2.2 is much better choice) Last edited by e2e4; 11-Jun-2008 at 22:43. |

| You're welcome brat. If I've known I'll tell ya. If I don't know I'll read or ask about as well. Then I'll tell ya at the moment I have got it. I really can not do it before that very moment at which I've got it first. I've got here means I understood too, of course. @bhaisahab's 2.3 why to do things more quickly then normal?

2.2) I will let you know once I have got the message 2.3) I will let you know once I get the message 'Got' in the sense that it is being used here means 'recieved'. therefore; 'I will let you know once I recieved the message.' This is not ok. 'I will let you know once I have recieved the message.' This is ok. 'I will let you know once I recieve the message.' This is ok. |
