Help Sarah rewrite her sloppy text message into a polite, professional update for the company's official group chat.
Select the correct verb for each gap.
Good morning, team. I am writing to _________________________ you that I will be late today. I accidentally _________________________ my train, but I expect to _________________________ at the office by 10:00 AM.
Good morning, team. I am writing to inform you that I will be late today.
"Inform" is followed directly by an object pronoun (inform you). "Say" and "speak" do not fit this grammatical pattern (you would have to say "say to you" or "speak with you").
I accidentally missed my train...
When you are too late to catch public transport, you "miss" it. You cannot "lose" a train (unless you own it and misplaced it!).
...but I expect to arrive at the office by 10:00 AM.
"Arrive" pairs correctly with the preposition "at." "Reach" is a transitive verb and does not use a preposition (you just reach the office). "Get" would require the preposition "to" (get to the office).
