看到大家经常用这个词,我想替这个词澄清一下它的用法,不误了大家表示好意的心情。
1. Appreciate is a transitive verb. So we should say, "I appreciate your help."
2. We may often hear people say, " Much appreciate it", or " your help is much appreciated" But saying " Much appreciated" is not grammatically right because your are essentially saying " (I am) appreciated". It is not you that is appreciated, it is someone's help that is appreciated by you.
3. We can use the adjective form too and say, " I am very appreciative of your help".
4. You can also end your letter with
" With much appreciation,
Bob Smith".
