...I am not responding to email so promptly you can call me

[DANAU]

Hi,


I have formed the sentences below. Can you please help to check which of the sentences has correct punctuation.



“ I am on leave tomorrow, in case I am not responding to email so promptly you can call me.”


“ I am on leave tomorrow, in case I am not responding to email so promptly, you can call me.”

Those are run-on sentences.
"Am not responding" is not the correct tense.
What is "toemail"?

Hi tedmc,

It is the spacing again. I was referring to "to email"
I have also corrected the tense. Can you help me to check again.

“ I am on leave tomorrow, in case I do not respond to email so promptly you can call me.”
“ I am on leave tomorrow, in case I do not respond to email so promptly, you can call me.”

“ I am on leave tomorrow, in case I do not respond to email so promptly you can call me.”
“ I am on leave tomorrow, in case I do not respond to email so promptly, you can call me.”

They are still both run-on sentences. "So promptly" doesn't work.

I marked two spacing errors.

Hi GoesStation,

If I alter my sentences to the following, are they acceptable now?

"I will be on leave tomorrow, in case I do not respond promptly to email you can call me.”
“I will be on leave tomorrow, in case I do not respond promptly to email, you can call me.”

Hi GoesStation,

If I alter my sentences to the following, are they acceptable now?

"I will be on leave tomorrow. If I do not respond promptly enough to your email, you can call me.”
“I will be on leave tomorrow, so if I do not respond promptly enough to your email, you can call me.”

More natural:

I'll be out tomorrow. If you need to reach me right away, please phone.

When tedmc and GoesStation say 'run-on sentences', they mean that you have spliced two sentences into one, which is not good.

Yes. Shorter sentences are easier to control. If your message needs to be one long sentence to be effective, be careful of your construction. I conjoined them with a comma and so. We use commas and conjunctions to build compound sentences.

But I agree with the others that in your email message, two short sentences would be better than one long.
