Question

Becasue I left in a hurry at the last meeting, would you please tell me when is the next merchant meeting?

Phoenix PR · Accepted Answer

Two options to simplify your sentence:

Because I left the last merchant's meeting in a hurry, would you please tell me when it meets next?
Because I left the last merchant's meeting in a hurry, would you please tell me when we meet next?

To simplify even further:

Because I left the last merchant's meeting in a hurry, please tell me when it meets next.
Because I left the last merchant's meeting in a hurry, please tell me when we meet next?

Or...

I left the last merchant's meeting in a hurry, so please tell me when it meets next.
I left the last merchant's meeting in a hurry, so please tell me when we meet next.

Hi,

I'd say the most common way to ask for this information would be to say

. . . . . . would you please tell me when the next meeting is?

Or better yet,

. . . . . . would you please tell me when the next one is?

Best wishes, Clive

? Phoenix, where's the prepostion at the end? Did "is" decide to leave the Verb party and become a Preposition after the last election? <img class='emoticon' style='Width:19px;Height:19px;' data-delaysrc='https://uat-englishforward-forums-backend.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Emoticons/1.gif' src='https://uat-englishforward-forums-backend.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Emoticons/1.gif' alt='Emotion: smile'/>
