wassup peeps

Jack is kindly requested to win this game already so that I can not bother with the next one.

oh

Jack is kindly requested?

Can anyone else spot what is wrong with those 4 words

Is should of been had. I think

That might fit, but IS and REQUESTED are two different tenses

Nooooooo, you really really don't want to get me started on this one! You will lose!!!

oh go on clooney

Warney? And before you consider your response, consider this simple sentence:

He has arrived.

Would you say that the words has and arrived are in two different tenses? Yet the sentence is, as anyone can tell, completely correct? I will self-admittedly arrogantly and egotistically tie your original argument in a knot and hand it back to you depending on your response.

Clooney, read the sentence, it makes NO sense

im confused now lol

going bed bye

Nite Steph

Right Warney, He has arrived; this consists of a subject, the pronoun He, and a verb, has arrived, which is to arrive in the perfect tense. This verb itself consists of two words. First, we have has, the 3rd person present tense of to have which here is the auxiliary for the perfect tense. Second, we have arrived, which is the past participle of to arrive.

So, to the original sample: Jack is kindly requested. This is an example of the passive voice. It allows the writer to communicate that someone has requested someone to do something without revealing who the requesting party is. It too uses an auxiliary verb (this time to be) with a past participle. ...is requested is therefore the following form of the verb to request: passive voice, 3rd person, present tense. Ish. Basically, it means "Someone requests Jack"; specifically, it can mean "I request Jack", "We request Jack", "Everyone requests Jack", etc. Similar forms can be found on invitations: "You are cordially invited to...", thereby bypassing the naming of the inviter(s).

Note also the presence of the adverb kindly between the auxiliary and the participle; this is perfectly acceptable, and any insistence that it should be placed before the auxiliary or after the participle is overly pedantic.

So all in all, I'm right

And work on your Maths
