I was asked to complete this sentence:

Please log in whenever (ask) ____ to do.


I wonder if "asked" is appropriate. I hope to hear from you soon.

If you don't mind, please explain your choice, too.

Thank you very much.

Is it OK if I fill the blank with "being asked"?

At first I thought just like SirGod, but now I think that it must be passive.

If both of them are correct, are there any differences?

I hope to hear from you soon. Thanks

At first I thought just like SirGod, but now I think that it must be passive. It is passive, as SirGod's example shows.

Ending the sentence with "to do" is incorrect.

Please log in whenever asked to do so.
