Talk about maintaining contact with people.

The idea

Use keep in touch for continuing contact; add with before a person. The past is kept in touch.

Examples

  • We keep in touch by email.
  • She keeps in touch with her cousin.
  • Let’s keep in touch after the course.
  • They kept in touch during the trip.
  • My neighbours keep in touch by phone.
  • Do you keep in touch with your old teacher?
