Hi

Once Amy told me the difference between ‘Request’ and ‘Request for’. I really can’t seem to remember that at all. Could you please explain that again? Is the following sentence correct with for?

1- Could I request for a few more examples?

Hi Tom

I hope examples will serve as an adequate explanation:

  • Could I request a few more examples? (request = verb)

  • Could I make a request for a few more examples? (request = noun)
