Are these sentences correct & can they be reframed in a better way:-

1) Message me after you finish having your dinner

2) Message me after you have finished taking bath
  

Top answer

if you are refering to SMS, I would say text me rather than message me, and if you are talking about sending an email, you had better simply say email me. Therefore; 1. Text me having done your dinner/ text me having eaten your dinner.
