request the honor of your ..

This phrase is incorrect. The verb "request" does not agree in number with the subject, making it grammatically wrong.


Alternatives:

  • requests the honor of your ...

requests the honor of your ...

This phrase is correct and commonly used in formal invitations or requests.

This phrase is used in formal contexts when inviting someone to an event or requesting their presence. It is a polite and formal way to extend an invitation.

Examples:

  • Mr. and Mrs. Smith request the honor of your presence at their daughter's wedding.
  • The President requests the honor of your company at the state dinner.
  • The organization requests the honor of your attendance at the charity gala.
The correct phrase is "requests the honor of your...". The verb "requests" should agree in number with the subject, which is third person singular (he/she/it). Therefore, the correct form is "requests". The incorrect form "request" does not match the subject and is grammatically incorrect.
