Example Of Church Welcome Letters Grammar Question: Ok, Grammarians -- Help Me Settle A Bet. Is It "welcome" Or "welcomed"?

Grammar question: Ok, grammarians -- help me settle a bet. Is it "welcome" or "welcomed"? - example of church welcome letters

... in this example:

Is "All people are welcome in my church to be allowed to."
or
"All people are welcome in my church to be allowed to."

I say this because "greet" is a verb that functions in the passive voice, what they say, is really "We welcome all people in my community."

He said he is "welcome", "Welcome", etc., but I do not know why.

I say that is most familiar.

Ideas?

Since the preposition "in" The sentence should read: "All people are to welcome in my church." In the case of this construction, "Welcome" is an adjective (not a verb in this sentence), and we could simply say: "Everyone is welcome.

If the preposition "to" We can now say: "All people are welcome in my church to be allowed to."

In any case, the average rate amounts to May, depending on the context, that no one could be rejected by his church.

I teach grammar, ESL students at a community college. You are right about the passive voice, but the strange thing is that is sometimes built up the passive voice in the same way as adjectives. In that sentence, "Welcome" is an adjective and "shall" is a verb can be. It's like "All the students are smart." In this case, you need the day of "Welcome". Go to Home "For this reason and because it sounds better.

I'm pretty sure that there are "all people welcome in my church."

Alternatively, you can "All people are welcome in my church to be allowed to."

The more often we hear "All people are welcome in my church to be allowed to."

"All people are welcome in my church," the grammar - especially if an agent is responsible for this passive sentence, as in 'All men welcome in my church for the pastor and his wife, immediately after attending his first campaign .

There is nothing wrong with "We welcome all people from my community." It is also fair to say, "everyone is welcome." Both win.
