Expert writing Tips
Best practice
Avoid using the phrase "was not corresponded" in formal writing. Instead, opt for clearer and more common alternatives such as "did not correspond" or "did not match".
Common error
The phrase "was not corresponded" attempts to use a passive construction with 'correspond', which is not grammatically sound. Instead, focus on who or what is doing the action (or not doing it) and use an active construction. For example, instead of "the letter was not corresponded", say "I did not correspond to the letter" or, more naturally, "I did not reply to the letter".
