When to use a comma when saying thank you?
If you are telling someone “thank you” directly, you always need a comma after “thank you.” This is the most common way of using the phrase, so in most cases you will want that comma. You should also put a comma or a period after “thank you” if it’s the last part of a letter or email before your name or signature.
Do you put a comma after thank you followed by someone’s name?
This one’s easy: You always need a comma after thank you when you are addressing someone directly. Adding a comma here separates the statement from the name of the person being thanked. This works the same even if you are thanking more than one person: “Thank you, everyone!”
Is it correct to say thanks to?
“Thanks to you” would also have to be part a larger sentence. “Thanks” in this sense is a plural noun meaning gratitude but the fixed phrase “thanks to”, as well as meaning “gratitude to” can also mean “because of”. E.g. “Thanks to you, I need to get my lawnmower fixed”.
Is it thanks Jim or thanks Jim?
Although they’re both correct, they have a difference. Hence, the today’s expression, “Thanks, Jim”. “Thank you”, the “thank” is a verb, and is actually a shortening of the phrase “I thank you”. So, you’d probably not say “Give Jim my thank-you”, but “Give Jim my thanks.”
Which is correct thank you or thank you?
Thank you is correct, as it is in agreement with the first person I (or we) thank you. Thanks would only be used if the third person singular were to be used: She (or he) thanks you. The second person (you) makes no sense with thank you. The third person plural (they) also uses thank.
Is it okay to say THANKS YOU in a formal way?

Is it correct to say THANKS YOU for the gift?

Is it appropriate to say thank you for the service?
Person 2: Thank you. Person 1: No, thank you. Absolutely, but it would only be appropriate if they have also done something for you. If you are the only one who has provided a service, then it would sound a bit odd to thank them.
