Hi all! What's the common way to say "replenish my/your mobile account ", I mean "put some money"?

@V.V. I would probably say "recharge" or "reload". Amazon says:

> Get a $5 reward when you reload your Amazon.com Gift Card Balance with $100 or more

It seems pretty common to say "refill" as well (you can buy refill cards)

Trey

what does it mean to "run in a bit of a snag" ?

@ColleenV, @CowperKettle,

hello, can some one tell if this is correct?

" I wanted to know your opinion about if it is an appropriate way of thinking "

V.V.

Perhaps without "about".

parvin

or can we use "on" instead?

I want to know your opinion on if ...

V.V.

@Trey, It's something about difficulty you have come across.

No, It's just an indirect question, like reported speech. You have a conjunction "if".

If you use a preposition, then don't say "if"

parvin

so can you please tell how I can join these two? "I want to know your opinion about it
" and " I want to know if it is a correct way of thinking about it"

is this correct for sure? " I want to know your opinion if it is a..." ??

V.V.

I'd like to know if it is...

Could you tell me if it is...

Do you think it is...

@V.V. thank you

Q: Which one is correct (if all or any is): I would be thankful if you + did/do/could do?

There are three structures that I remember but can't say if they are correct or say the differences. I would be thankful if you could tell me! I would be very thankful if you spend your time on this. I would be very thankful if you spent your time on this. I would be very thankful if you could/...
