Help our nervous applicant, Rahul, proofread his post-interview thank you email. Select the correct option for each blank.
Dear Hiring Manager,
Thank you for chatting with me today. As we discussed, I _________________________ from university in 2021 with a degree in design. I ________________________________ that this role requires late shifts, and I am fully prepared to take them on. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
I graduated from university in 2021.
When we mention a specific finished time in the past (like "in 2021"), we must use the past simple tense, not the present perfect ("have graduated").
I understand that this role requires late shifts.
"Understand" is a stative verb (a verb describing a state of mind, not an action). Stative verbs are rarely used in the continuous "-ing" form ("am understanding").
