Hello everyone,
According to the Oxford dictionary the constructions with "request" are as follows:
request - Definition and pronunciation | Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary at OxfordLearnersDictionaries.com
request (for something)| request (that…)
But I've seen examples where to-infinitive is used:
[ARCHIVED CONTENT] Testing for presence of (specified) Class A drugs on arrest and the expansion of the Restriction on Bail provisions | Home Office
These are there to encourage problematic drug users to comply with the request to provide a sample for drug testing and with any requirement to attend an assessment so that they can be moved into appropriate treatment and support and away from crime
Do I understand correctly that the construction "request + to-infinitive" is correct and just has not been included in the dictionary?
Thank you.
