After receiving / received your email...

[fenglish]

Hi,

I get confusing with "After receiving your email..." and "After received your email...", and sometimes I use "After receiving...", sometimes use "After received...".

Please help to clarify the exact meaning when using "receiving" and "received" in the above context. Are they both correct in this context?

Thanks.

"After received your email" is wrong.

"After received your email" is wrong.

As is "I get confusing with."

It is indeed, Dave.

Why didn't you tell the OP why it is wrong?

You usually do that yourself, Matthew — and very effectively.:-D
