What does this grammar mistake mean?
Awkward. Your teacher means please re-phrase this to make the idea clearer.
Is there any grammatical mistake in this sentence, "punctuality will be graceful appreciated"?
Hi,The grammatically correct sentence would be -“ Punctuality would be gracefully appreciated.”Honestly, I don't see the need of the word ‘ gracefully’ here. There's no value added.“ Punctuality would be appreciated,” sounds more apt.I am an English educator on the online learning Platform UNACADEMY.I have uploaded various English and Grammar lessons to help learners like you.

Is there any other ways to say "I would truly appreciate it if you could provide us with something"?
Q. Are there other ways to say "I would truly appreciate it if you could provide us with something"?A. “I would truly appreciate it if you could …” has certain grammatical problems as discussed in the addendum below.Using “appreciate” for “being grateful” is not correct.Drop the truly.You don’t have to be so supplicant. Be polite but not obsequious.Replace the I with We.It’s more polite.“We shall be grateful if you can {…}” is the preferred way.Caution: Don’t try to be varietal. Pick one and stick to it. It will become second nature and you will remember it. Save creative writing for non-business purposes.What is wrong with the following 2 sentences, if anything? Is *it* necessary?I would appreciate *it* if you would send me a refund. (1a)I would appreciate if you would send me a refund. (1b)Some writing authorities don't approve the use of "appreciate" in the sense of "being grateful for" at all, but they are in a minority. None of my resources speak directly to your question about the omission of "it," but some of them do object to a clause directly following as the object of "appreciate" (particularly clauses beginning with "how" or "that" — but I think we should add "if"). Garner, for instance, says that "We appreciate how you've worked for the community" should be replaced by "We are grateful for …" When you omit the "it" in your sentences, you're creating the same problem of "appreciate" being followed by a clause; the sentences work better with "it." In a Google search, incidentally, "appreciate it if" outnumbers similar constructions without the "it" by a 3 to 2 margin. Having said all this, however, you're now left with a wordy and gaseous substitute for the more direct and equally polite "Please send me a refund {for ______}."From Garner's Modern American Usage by Bryan Garner.

Which one is correct, "We would appreciate it if you sent us…" or "We would appreciate it if you would send us…"? Is the second one at least usable (maybe in some special cases)? Is there a better way to say it?
Both are gramnatically correct and both convery same meaning of impossibility ie the listener will not send it.
“Thank you very much. I appreciate the opportunity and I look forward to meeting you so I can share my experiences in more detail.” Is this correct?
There's something that doesn't quite work in the mix of ideas here. You're thanking the recipient of your message very much. You appreciate the opportunity (to do what? You don't say). And you look forward to meeting them so you can share (tell them about) your experiences in more detail.It is grammatically correct but it might not send the message you want it to. It's better not to be effusive in thanks, nor to say anything superfluous. I would leave out either the “very much” or the “I appreciate the opportunity.” Without knowing the precise purpose of your message I can't be sure of this but I might also change the way you end. I would make it more about them and their needs. I feel the way it's written here it's more about your desire to share about yourself.Perhaps “Thank you very much. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and discuss your requirements, and my experience, in more detail.”Or “Thank you. I look forward to meeting you and the opportunity to discuss your requirements and my experience in greater detail.”Save the “I appreciate the opportunity to have met you” for a thank you note for after the meeting.
