§Structures (grammar patterns) 4

certify + that-clause

  • The doctor certified that Radhika was fit to travel.
  • I certify that the above details are correct.

certify + object + (as) + complement

Certify can take an object and then as, or a direct complement, to say what the person or thing is officially declared to be.

  • The court certified him insane.

!Common mistakes 3

✗ The officer certified to the documents.

✓ The officer certified the documents.

Certify takes a direct object, so to is not used.

'Certify' के बाद सीधा object आता है, इसलिए 'to' नहीं लगता।

✗ I certify you that the form is correct.

✓ I certify that the form is correct.

Certify does not take a person before the that-clause; assure does.

'Certify' में that-clause से पहले व्यक्ति नहीं आता; 'assure' में आता है।

✗ Please attach a certify copy of the marksheet.

✓ Please attach a certified copy of the marksheet.

The adjective before copy is the participle certified.

Copy से पहले participle 'certified' आता है।
