clarify Could I use a person as the object of clarify? -Kindly be :cool:clarified :cool:that this university is closed. |
Re: clarify This doesn't make sense at all. It's not grammatical and means nothing. To clarify is a transitive verb and means to make something clear. Eg : The students obviously don't understand the use of the present perfect so I'll try and clarify it in the next lesson. Here are some examples from the passive - notice that the object of the active verb (the "something") becomes the subject of the passive verb :
It's not possible therefore to use it as a passive imperative which would need a personal subject. It means nothing. I think what the writer means could be something like : Please note that this university is closed... but as always, without the context it's impossible to interpret it accurately. |
Re: clarify Excellent answer. Thank you. |
