Question

IS THIS SENTENCE CORRECT "I HAVE FOUND YOUR COMPANY NAME OVER THE INTERNET"

IF ENGLISH IS YOUR NATIVE LANGUAGE, THEN THIS IS A VERY SIMPLE QUESTION, SO DON'T SAY "WORDREFERENCE "ECT BECAUSE I'M HERE NOW

CAN YOU SUGGEST,

Answer 1

Better English would be one of these:



I found your company name over the internet.



I found the name of your company through the internet.



I found out about your company through the internet.



I found your company using the internet.



- or any combination of those words.



I HAVE found means that, through experience, you have discovered something to be true.

Examples to distinguish between the two:



I found your wallet on the sidewalk.

I have found that keeping your wallet in your pants' front pocket gives it a better chance of staying in.



I found a good recipe for lemon cake in "Home Cooking" magazine.

I have found the recipes in "Home Cooking" to almost always be delicious.



I found my spouse by using an internet dating service.

I have found that internet dating services are generally not very helpful, but in this case, I was lucky!

Answer 2

To be correct, you should say "I found your company name on the internet" or "I searched for your company name over the internet"

Answer 3

No, it's not correct. You don't need the words have or over. It should be, "I found your company name on the Internet."

Answer 4

I agree with Mircat!

Answer 5

That looks fine.



I would make "I have" into "I've" just because it sounds natural.
