§Structures (grammar patterns) 4

request + object + to-infinitive

§Grammar and usage

Request sth (no preposition after the verb: 'request a copy', not 'request for a copy'); the noun takes for: 'a request for leave'.

यह बहुत पूछा जाता है: verb के बाद सीधा object ('request a copy', 'request for a copy' नहीं); noun के साथ for: 'a request for leave'।

Also 'request sb to do sth' and the subjunctive 'request that the meeting be postponed'.

Request के दो और पैटर्न हैं: 'request sb to do sth' (किसी से कुछ करने का अनुरोध करना) और subjunctive 'request that the meeting be postponed', जिसमें that के बाद verb का base form (be) आता है।
