Hi guys,

Please check. "Mails have already been delivered as soon as I try to check them everyday". Can we use "Have done" for a repeated action that gets completed before checking everyday or do I need to say "Mails already get delivered as soon as I try to check them everyday"? I want to say I try checking them but they get delivered before checking.

If not, then mail gets delivered works better for me.

Then it's a good idea to refer to them as "emails" or "e-mails".

E-mail is sent and received, but not really "delivered."

You'd need to say something like Emails are sent every day before I can check them.

I don't understand the logic of your statement. Are you referring to emails which you have written? If so, how can they be sent before you check them? If they are written by someone else, why do you think you should be able to check them first?

It could be that only some emails are sent without being checked. If not,then the solution is to get up earlier rather than write this sentence IMO. If it refers to all emails, then the problem is the checker.

Tufguy, you need to be less sensitive. We look at everything in a post. We check the grammar, the punctuation, the spelling and the logic. If you are making up a scenario, then tell us that you simply made it up and that it's not a real situation. Even in that context, we will still question the logic. There's no point writing a grammatical sentence if it's illogical. Why would you want to practise that?

Please note my amendments above, in red. You really must, by now, know how to spell "grammar", especially if that's what you claim to be particularly concerned with.
