Common Mistakes

  • Je reviens à toi à propos de ce qu'on s'est dit.

    The correct preposition after *revenir* in this context is *vers*, not *à*.

  • Je reviens vers toi à propos du ce qu'on s'est dit.

    Use *de* after *à propos*; *du* would be incorrect here.

  • Je reviens vers toi à propos de ce qu'on s'est dite.

    When the subject is *on*, the past participle does not agree; it stays *dit*, not *dite*.

Alternatives

  • Je te recontacte au sujet de ce que nous avons dit.

    I’m contacting you about what we said.

  • Je reviens sur notre conversation précédente.

    I’m following up on our previous conversation.

  • Comme convenu, je te reviens concernant notre échange.

    As agreed, I’m getting back to you regarding our exchange.

Cultural Tip

In French business correspondence, *revenir vers* is a courteous way to signal a follow‑up without sounding pushy. Pair it with *à propos de* for a neutral, professional tone. Avoid overly casual equivalents like *je te rappelle* unless you’re speaking with a close colleague.
