"i have already followed up" vs "i have already follow up"

The correct phrase is "I have already followed up," not "I have already follow up."

Last Updated: February 04, 2020

i have already followed up

This is correct

You can say this if you are asked if you tried to contact someone again after not receiving a response.

ExpertExplanation provided by a TextRanch English expert


Some examples from our editors:

  • "Did you receive a response yet?" "I have already followed up, but no one has written me back."
  • "I hope you sent an email to the hiring manager after your job interview." "Yes, I have already followed up and hope to hear back from her soon."

Some alternatives from our editors:

  • I have already requested a response

i have already follow up

This is not correct. Don't use this phrase.

It is incorrect to say "I have already follow up," because "follow" is in the present tense and you are talking about something you did in the past.
