requested
- 1Simple past and past participle of request.
The committee requested additional funding for the project.
More information was requested before the application could move forward.
Note
One regular spelling does double duty: the past (she requested a refund) and the participle behind have and be (has requested, was requested). The passive splits along the verb's two constructions. Either the thing asked for becomes the subject (funding was requested), or the person asked does (guests were requested to arrive early). Because the verb takes its object directly, a thing is requested, never "requested for". The for belongs to the noun: a request for.
Guests were requested to arrive before seven.
She requested him to wait outside.
