用法筆記
Frequently found in the passive: 'be requested to do something'. In very formal English, a that-clause after 'request' uses the subjunctive mood: 'He requested that she be present' (not 'she is'). 'Request' does not take 'for' before its direct object — it is 'request something', not 'request for something'.
