Which one is correct?
"email me back" or "emailed me back"?

email me back

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English to request a response to an email in the future.

This phrase is used to ask someone to reply to an email that has been received or will be received in the future.

Examples:

  • Can you please email me back by tomorrow?
  • I hope you can email me back with your thoughts on the proposal.

emailed me back

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English to indicate that someone has replied to an email in the past.

This phrase is used to describe a completed action in the past where someone has responded to an email that was sent earlier.

Examples:

  • He emailed me back yesterday.
  • She never emailed me back after I sent the message.
Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'Emailed me back' is past tense and refers to a completed action in the past, while 'email me back' is present tense and is a request for a future action. They are not directly comparable as they serve different purposes.
