She will definitely chase for our reply

[Winwin2011]

If we don't answer her email. She will definetely chase for our reply.

Are above context natural?

 

[probus]

No, it does not sound at all natural. Furthermore it is ungrammatical. "If we don't answer her email she will ..." is grammatically correct.

 

[MikeNewYork]

I agree with Probus.

"If we don't answer her email she will definitely contact us again."

 

[Matthew Wai]

Is it grammatical to say 'If we don't answer her email, she will definitely press for our reply'?

 

[tedmc]

I agree with Probus.

"If we don't answer her email she will definitely contact us again."

What is wrong with using 'chase us'?

 

[MikeNewYork]

It is not natural English.

 

[tedmc]

It is not natural English.

It is probably not so polite but it is common where I come from.

I remember I was told by the teachers not to 'chase for answers' when I started a new thread.

'Follow up with us' is another possibility.

 

[MikeNewYork]

Yes. "Follow up" is more common then "chase".

 

[Rover_KE]

You could say '...she will chase up a reply'.

chase vb

• 4 (transitive) often followed by up: informal — to pursue persistently and energetically in order to obtain results, information, etc

• ​(Collins)

 

[MikeNewYork]

That wouldn't work in AmE.

Do we use' follow up in 'Not to chase for answers' when I started a new thread.'?
