설명 requested in your Level:

At the A1 level, you are just starting to learn how to ask for things. You probably know the word 'ask' or 'want.' The word 'requested' is a bit more advanced, but you can think of it as a very polite way to say 'asked for.' Imagine you are in a restaurant and you want a glass of water. You might say, 'I asked for water.' If you want to be very formal, you could say, 'I requested water.' At this level, you don't need to use 'requested' often, but you might see it on signs or in simple emails. For example, a sign might say 'Quiet is requested,' which means 'Please be quiet.' It is a good word to recognize when you are looking for polite instructions. Just remember that 'requested' is the past tense, so it means the asking happened before now. If you are asking right now, you would say 'I request' or 'I am requesting,' but 'requested' is much more common when talking about what happened in the past. Focus on understanding that it is a polite, formal version of 'asked.'

As an A2 learner, you are beginning to handle more social situations, like traveling or shopping. You will see 'requested' in places like hotels or airports. For example, a hotel might say, 'You requested a non-smoking room.' This means you asked for it when you made your booking. At this level, you should start to notice that 'requested' doesn't use the word 'for' after it. You don't say 'I requested for a room'; you just say 'I requested a room.' This is a common mistake to avoid. You might also hear it in simple work contexts, like 'The boss requested a meeting.' It sounds more professional than 'The boss wants a meeting.' You can use 'requested' when you want to sound a little more serious or polite than usual. It is also useful for describing things you have already asked for. If you are waiting for a pizza you ordered, you could say, 'I requested extra cheese on my pizza.' It shows you are moving beyond the most basic English and starting to use words that sound more natural in formal settings.

At the B1 level, you are expected to use 'requested' in your own writing and speaking, especially in professional or semi-formal situations. This is the level where you should feel comfortable using it in emails, such as 'As requested, I am sending you the report.' This is a very common and useful phrase. You should also understand the difference between 'requested' and 'asked.' Use 'requested' when you are dealing with a company, a teacher, or a boss. It shows that you understand professional etiquette. You should also be able to use 'requested' as an adjective, like 'the requested information.' This helps you link your sentences together and makes your English flow better. At B1, you are also learning about the passive voice, and 'requested' is often used this way: 'The documents were requested by the manager.' This is a great way to sound more objective and formal. You should also be careful not to use 'requested' with your close friends, as it might sound too stiff or strange. Use it to show respect and professionalism in the right places.

At the B2 level, you should have a firm grasp of the nuances of 'requested.' You understand that it is a transitive verb and never use 'for' after it. You are also comfortable using it in more complex sentence structures, such as 'The client requested that the project be completed by Friday.' Notice the use of 'that' and the base form of the verb ('be completed')—this is the subjunctive mood, which is common with 'requested' in formal English. You also use 'requested' to distinguish between a polite ask and a mandatory requirement. In a business report, you might write, 'While the team requested additional funding, it was not required for the initial phase.' This shows a high level of precision in your vocabulary. You also recognize set phrases like 'by popular request' and can use them appropriately in your writing. At this level, you are using 'requested' not just to be polite, but to manage professional relationships and document formal processes accurately. Your use of the word helps you sound like a competent professional who can navigate complex social and work environments with ease.

Your vocabulary is broad enough that you know when to use 'requested' and when to switch to more specific synonyms like 'solicited,' 'petitioned,' or 'appealed' to achieve a specific effect. You also understand the cultural implications of the word; for example, how using 'requested' can be a way of maintaining 'face' in international diplomacy. At this level, your use of 'requested' is flawless, and you use it to add a layer of sophistication and clarity to your most formal communications.

requested 30초 만에

Requested is the formal past tense of request, meaning to ask for something politely or officially.
It is commonly used in business, legal, and hospitality contexts to denote a professional solicitation.
It can function as an adjective, as in 'the requested files,' to describe something previously asked for.
Unlike 'ask,' the verb 'request' does not take the preposition 'for' (e.g., 'requested a meeting').

The word requested is a versatile and essential term in the English language, primarily serving as the past tense and past participle of the verb 'request.' At its core, it signifies the act of asking for something in a way that is polite, formal, or official. Unlike the word 'asked,' which can be used in almost any casual context, 'requested' carries a weight of professional decorum and intentionality. It is the language of business, law, hospitality, and formal social interactions. When you request something, you are not just expressing a whim; you are initiating a formal process or making a respectful solicitation. This word is frequently used when there is a clear objective in mind, such as obtaining information, seeking permission, or asking for a specific service. It acknowledges the social or professional hierarchy while maintaining a level of courtesy that 'demanded' lacks. In many ways, 'requested' is the 'goldilocks' of asking: it is stronger and more formal than 'asked,' but softer and more respectful than 'ordered' or 'demanded.'

Formal Solicitation: The act of making a formal request for help, information, or action, often documented in writing or through official channels.
Adjectival Function: When used as an adjective, it describes something that has been asked for, such as 'the requested documents' or 'the requested song.'

In historical contexts, the word 'requested' has been used to signify high-level diplomatic appeals and legal petitions. In modern times, its usage has expanded into the digital realm. We 'request' access to files on Google Drive, we send 'friend requests' on social media, and software developers submit 'pull requests' to merge code. In each of these instances, the word implies a structured interaction where one party asks and the other party has the power to grant or deny. The psychological impact of using 'requested' is also significant. In a workplace, a manager who 'requests' a report is seen as more professional and less aggressive than one who 'tells' an employee to do it. It frames the task as a necessary part of a professional exchange rather than a personal command. This nuance is vital for English learners to grasp, as it helps them navigate the subtle power dynamics of professional environments.

The client requested a detailed breakdown of the project costs before signing the contract.

Furthermore, 'requested' is often found in the passive voice, which is a hallmark of formal English. Phrases like 'It is requested that all guests arrive by 8 PM' or 'The information was requested by the board' remove the focus from the person asking and place it on the action itself. This creates a sense of institutional authority. In the hospitality industry, 'requested' is used to handle guest preferences. A 'requested' room with a sea view implies that the guest has expressed a preference, and the hotel will do its best to honor it, though it is not a guaranteed 'requirement.' This distinction between a request and a requirement is another layer of the word's complexity. A request is a polite ask that can be declined, whereas a requirement is a mandatory condition. By using 'requested,' you are acknowledging that the other party has the right to say no, which is the ultimate form of linguistic politeness in many cultures.

The singer performed the classic hit that had been requested by many fans in the audience.

To summarize, 'requested' is a bridge between the casual and the mandatory. It is the language of cooperation and professional respect. Whether you are asking for a glass of water in a fine dining restaurant or asking for a million-dollar investment in a boardroom, 'requested' provides the necessary formal structure to make your ask effective and polite. It is a word that signals you understand the rules of social and professional engagement, making it a powerful tool in any communicator's vocabulary. As you continue to use this word, pay attention to how it changes the tone of your sentences compared to 'asked.' You will find that 'requested' adds a layer of polish and seriousness that is invaluable in many real-world situations.

Using requested correctly involves understanding its grammatical structures and the contexts where it shines. As a transitive verb, it usually requires a direct object—the thing being asked for. However, it can also be followed by a 'that' clause or an infinitive phrase. Understanding these patterns is key to achieving a B1 level of proficiency and beyond. The most common structure is 'Subject + requested + Object,' such as 'She requested a meeting.' This is direct, clear, and formal. It tells the listener exactly what was asked for and who did the asking. In professional writing, this structure is preferred for its clarity and economy of words.

Direct Object Pattern: The most straightforward use: 'The manager requested the financial reports.' No preposition like 'for' is needed after the verb.
The 'That' Clause: Used for formal instructions: 'The committee requested that the chairman resign.' Note the use of the subjunctive mood in very formal contexts.

Another sophisticated way to use 'requested' is in the passive voice. This is extremely common in formal notices and official correspondence. For example, 'You are requested to attend the hearing' sounds much more official than 'We want you to come to the hearing.' The passive voice shifts the focus from the person making the request to the person receiving it and the action required. This is a common technique in legal and administrative English to maintain a neutral and objective tone. When you see 'requested' used this way, it often implies that the request is coming from an institution or a position of authority rather than a specific individual.

The teacher requested that all students remain in their seats until the bell rang.

As an adjective, 'requested' usually appears before a noun to indicate that the noun is the object of a previous ask. 'Please find the requested documents attached' is a standard phrase in millions of business emails sent every day. Here, 'requested' acts as a modifier, specifying which documents are being discussed. It helps in maintaining continuity in a conversation or a project. If you have been talking about a specific set of data, referring to it as 'the requested data' ensures that everyone is on the same page. This adjectival use is also common in service industries, such as 'the requested room' or 'the requested song,' where it distinguishes a specific choice from a general one.

After the presentation, the speaker provided the requested slides to the participants.

Finally, consider the use of 'requested' in the context of 'by popular request' or 'as requested.' These set phrases are incredibly useful. 'As requested' is a concise way to show that you are following instructions or fulfilling a promise. 'By popular request' indicates that an action is being taken because many people asked for it, often used in entertainment or marketing. For example, 'The band played an encore by popular request.' These phrases add a level of sophistication to your English and help you sound more like a native speaker. By mastering these different patterns—active, passive, adjectival, and idiomatic—you will be able to use 'requested' with confidence and precision in any setting.

Infinitive Pattern: Subject + requested + to + verb: 'The pilot requested to land immediately due to the weather.'

The word requested is ubiquitous in professional and formal environments. If you work in an office, you will hear and see it constantly. It is the standard term for asking for resources, time off, or information. In a meeting, a colleague might say, 'I have requested the latest sales figures from the marketing department.' In an email, you might see, 'Your presence is requested at the strategy session on Friday.' It is the language of the 'Request for Proposal' (RFP), a common business document where a company asks for bids from potential suppliers. In these contexts, 'requested' signals that a formal process is underway and that the ask is documented and official.

The HR department requested that all employees update their contact information by the end of the week.

In the world of media and entertainment, 'requested' has a specific and nostalgic place. Radio DJs often talk about 'requested songs' or 'songs requested by listeners.' This usage highlights the interactive nature of the medium, where the audience has a say in the content. Similarly, in a restaurant or at a wedding, you might hear about 'requested' dishes or music. It implies a personalized experience where the service provider is catering to the specific desires of the guest. In these settings, 'requested' sounds more elegant and high-end than 'asked for.' It suggests a level of service where the guest's wishes are treated with formal importance.

Customer Service: 'The customer requested a refund for the faulty item.' This is the standard way to describe a formal complaint or claim.
Aviation and Travel: 'The passenger requested a vegetarian meal.' In travel, requests are often part of a booking process.

Legal and governmental contexts are also full of 'requests.' A lawyer might 'request' a discovery of evidence, or a citizen might 'request' a public record through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. In these high-stakes environments, the word 'requested' is used because it has specific legal meanings. It denotes a formal application that must be processed according to certain rules. If you are applying for a visa, the consulate might say, 'Additional documents have been requested.' This means your application is on hold until you provide what was asked for. In these cases, 'requested' is not just a polite ask; it is a mandatory step in a legal or administrative procedure.

The defense attorney requested a delay in the trial to review new evidence.

Finally, you will encounter 'requested' in digital interfaces. When you try to access a private website, you might see a message saying 'Access requested.' When you use a search engine, you are technically making a 'request' to a server. This technical usage has filtered into everyday language. We talk about 'requesting a ride' on Uber or 'requesting a delivery' on DoorDash. In the digital age, 'requested' has become the default verb for initiating an automated service. It bridges the gap between human desire and machine execution. Whether it is a human-to-human interaction or a human-to-machine one, 'requested' remains the go-to word for a formal, intentional ask.

One of the most frequent errors English learners make with requested is adding the preposition 'for' immediately after the verb. This mistake likely stems from the fact that the synonym 'ask' requires 'for' (e.g., 'I asked for a coffee'). However, 'request' is a transitive verb, which means it acts directly on the object. You should say 'I requested a coffee,' not 'I requested for a coffee.' This is a subtle but important distinction that separates intermediate learners from advanced speakers. Using 'for' after 'requested' makes the sentence sound cluttered and grammatically incorrect to a native speaker's ear.

Incorrect: He requested for a new laptop.
Correct: He requested a new laptop.

Another common pitfall is a mismatch in register. Because 'requested' is a formal word, using it in a very casual setting can sound strange or even sarcastic. For example, if you are at home with your partner and you say, 'I requested that you take out the trash,' it might sound like you are being overly formal or passive-aggressive. In casual settings, 'asked' is almost always the better choice. Reserve 'requested' for situations where there is a degree of professional distance or where a formal process is involved. Understanding the 'social temperature' of a word is just as important as knowing its definition. If you use 'requested' when 'asked' is appropriate, you might come across as cold or distant.

Confusing 'Request' and 'Require': A 'request' is an ask that can be denied. A 'requirement' is something that must happen. Don't say 'The law requested' when you mean 'The law required.'
Misusing the Passive Voice: While 'It is requested that...' is correct, 'I am requested to...' can sometimes sound awkward if the context isn't clear about who is doing the requesting.

Learners also sometimes struggle with the word order when using 'requested' as an adjective. Remember that as an adjective, it usually comes before the noun it modifies. 'The requested documents' is correct, while 'The documents requested' is also grammatically possible but often functions as a shortened relative clause ('The documents [that were] requested'). In most business contexts, putting it before the noun is the safest and most common approach. Additionally, be careful with the 'that' clause. In very formal English, the verb following 'requested that' should be in the base form (the subjunctive mood). For example, 'She requested that he *be* present,' not 'She requested that he *is* present.' While this is becoming less strict in modern English, it is still a mark of high-level proficiency.

The judge requested that the witness speak more clearly.

Finally, avoid overusing 'requested' in a single piece of writing. While it is a great word, repeating it too often can make your writing feel repetitive and overly bureaucratic. Use synonyms like 'sought,' 'solicited,' 'invited,' or 'asked' to keep your prose engaging. For instance, instead of saying 'He requested a meeting, and then he requested a report, and then he requested a coffee,' you could say 'He requested a meeting, sought a copy of the report, and asked for a coffee.' This variety makes your English sound more natural and sophisticated. By being mindful of these common mistakes—the 'for' trap, register mismatch, and repetitive usage—you will be able to use 'requested' like a pro.

To truly master the word requested, it is helpful to compare it with its synonyms and understand the subtle differences in meaning and register. The most obvious alternative is 'asked.' While 'asked' is the universal verb for making an inquiry or request, 'requested' is its more formal cousin. You 'ask' a friend for a favor, but you 'request' a favor from a dignitary. The choice between the two immediately sets the tone of the interaction. If you want to sound more authoritative or professional, 'requested' is your best bet. If you want to sound friendly and approachable, stick with 'asked.'

Solicited: This is even more formal than 'requested' and often implies asking for something from many people, like 'soliciting donations' or 'soliciting feedback.'
Petitioned: Used in legal or political contexts where a formal written request is made to an authority, often signed by many people.

Another interesting alternative is 'sought.' The past tense of 'seek,' 'sought' implies a more active or desperate search for something. For example, 'The company sought legal advice' suggests they were actively looking for it, whereas 'The company requested legal advice' sounds more like a standard administrative step. 'Sought' is often used for things that are harder to obtain, like 'seeking asylum' or 'seeking the truth.' In contrast, 'requested' is used for things that are usually granted through a standard process. 'Invited' is another synonym used in specific contexts, particularly when asking for participation or input. 'We invited comments from the public' is similar to 'We requested comments,' but 'invited' sounds more welcoming and less demanding.

The charity solicited contributions from local businesses to fund the new playground.

In legal settings, you might hear 'appealed' or 'applied.' An 'appeal' is a request to a higher authority to change a decision, while an 'application' is a formal request to be considered for something, like a job or a permit. While 'requested' could be used in these scenarios, 'appealed' and 'applied' are more precise. For example, 'He requested a new trial' is correct, but 'He appealed the verdict' is more specific to the legal process. Understanding these nuances allows you to choose the word that fits the situation perfectly. It shows that you not only know the meaning of the words but also the 'rules of the game' in different professional fields.

The residents petitioned the city council to install a stop sign at the dangerous intersection.

Finally, consider 'demanded' and 'ordered.' These are the 'aggressive' cousins of 'requested.' A demand is a request that leaves no room for refusal and often carries a threat of consequences. An order is a command from a superior to a subordinate. While 'requested' is polite and respectful, 'demanded' is forceful and often rude. In most professional settings, even if you have the power to demand something, using 'requested' is usually more effective because it builds better relationships and encourages cooperation. By choosing 'requested' over 'demanded,' you are using your linguistic power with grace and diplomacy. This is a hallmark of an advanced communicator who knows how to get what they want while keeping everyone on their side.

Inquired: Focuses on asking a question to get information: 'She inquired about the price of the requested item.'

No, you should not use 'for' after 'requested' when it is a verb. The correct sentence is 'I requested a meeting.' This is because 'request' is a transitive verb, meaning it takes a direct object. You only use 'for' with the verb 'ask,' as in 'I asked for a meeting.'

Yes, 'requested' is significantly more formal than 'asked.' It is the preferred word in business emails, legal documents, and official notices. Using 'asked' in these contexts can sometimes sound too casual or unprofessional.

As an adjective, 'requested' usually comes before the noun it describes. For example, 'Please find the requested documents attached.' It tells the reader that these are the specific documents that were asked for earlier in the conversation.

The difference is about necessity. 'Requested' means someone asked for something politely, and it can be declined. 'Required' means something is mandatory and must be done, often because of a rule or law. For example, 'I requested a window seat, but I am required to wear a seatbelt.'

You can, but it might sound a bit strange or like you are joking. Because it is a formal word, using it with friends can make you sound like a boss or a robot. It is better to use 'asked' in casual settings with people you know well.

Yes, it is a very common and professional way to give instructions in a formal setting. It uses the passive voice to make the instruction sound objective and official. For example, 'It is requested that all mobile phones be turned off during the performance.'

This idiom means that something is being done because a large number of people asked for it. You often hear it in entertainment, such as 'The band played their hit song by popular request.' It shows that the action is a response to the audience's desires.

The 'ed' is pronounced as a separate syllable 'id' (/ɪd/). This is because the base verb 'request' ends in a 't' sound. Whenever a verb ends in 't' or 'd', the past tense 'ed' is pronounced as 'id'. So, 'requested' has three syllables: re-quest-ed.

A 'pull request' is a term used in software development, specifically on platforms like GitHub. It is a formal way for a developer to ask the owners of a project to 'pull' their code changes into the main project. It is a key part of collaborative coding.

Usually, 'requested' is used for things (like documents) or actions (like a meeting). However, you can say 'His presence was requested,' which means he was asked to be there. You wouldn't usually call a person 'a requested person' in the same way you say 'a requested file.'
