Corrected versions
Original: Unfortunately, there's no update. Your price offer is still under consideration. As soon as I have any news, I'll let you know.
Small correction (still polite):
Unfortunately, there’s no update yet. Your price offer is still under consideration. I’ll let you know as soon as I have any news.
More formal:
Unfortunately, there are no updates at this time. Your price quote is still under consideration. I will inform you as soon as I receive any news.
Short and casual:
Unfortunately, no news yet. Your offer is still under review. I’ll let you know as soon as I hear anything.
Step-by-step explanation (easy)
- Subject–verb agreement: "There’s" is a contraction of "there is," which is singular. If you say "no update" (singular) it’s okay to write "there's no update." If you use "no updates" (plural), write "there are no updates." Example: "There are no updates." vs "There is no update."
- Word choice: "Price offer" sounds a bit awkward. In business messages, use "price quote," "offer," or "proposal" depending on what you mean. "Price quote" is common for a specific price estimate.
- Contractions and tone: "There’s" and "I’ll" are contractions and are fine in casual or friendly messages. For a more professional message, use full forms: "There is" and "I will."
- Punctuation and small words: Adding "yet" ("no update yet") makes the sentence sound natural. "As soon as I have any news" is correct, but you can also say "as soon as I hear anything" for a simpler phrase.
Quick tip: Pick the version that matches how formal you want to sound. If you're emailing a teacher or a client, use the formal version. If it's for a friend or a quick text, the casual version is fine.
