“I really appreciate it” or “much appreciated”, which one is appropriate?

1 Answer

  1. “I really appreciate it” is the more formal and correct expression. It should be used to communicate gratitude in response to a specific act of kindness or favor. It should never be used to express one’s appreciation in general.

    The phrase “much appreciated” is not considered formal and correct English. It is occasionally used to respond to a specific act of kindness or favor, but it is more commonly used as a fill-in phrase when “I really appreciate it” is not appropriate.
