Report an error clearly and state what you have done.
The idea
Describe the mistake and its immediate effect, then use I have corrected... to report action already taken.
Examples
- I entered the wrong date in the schedule.
- The delivery is now listed for Tuesday instead of Monday.
- I have corrected the schedule and informed the driver.
- I sent the invoice to the wrong address.
- The customer has not received it yet.
- I have contacted the customer and sent it again.
Read-aloud uses a synthetic English voice on your device. Quality and availability vary; it does not assess pronunciation.
No English device voice is available. You can still read the examples.
Watch out
Do not describe only the correction; the listener also needs to know the effect of the error.
