Say “Write to Me”, Not “Write Me” (Well… Sometimes) – Sparks Plus, Week 14
Welcome to this week’s Sparks Plus – your quick, practical boost for clearer, more confident English.
Six short sections, all easy to read and use right away.
1️⃣ Quick Win
Should you say write to me or write me?
Both exist, but the difference is context.
✔ Write to me when you arrive. → (neutral, used everywhere)
✔ Write me soon! → (more common in American English, informal)
If you’re unsure, “write to me” is always safe.
2️⃣ Real-World English in Action
Denglish rescue:
A client said: I’ll make you aware about the changes.
In English, we say:
✔ I’ll make you aware of the changes.
Or even simpler:
✔ I just wanted to let you know about the changes.
