"I would like to seek for your approval" vs "I would like to ask for your approval"

Both phrases are correct and commonly used in English. They convey the same meaning of requesting approval in a polite manner. The choice between 'seek' and 'ask' depends on personal preference or the formality of the situation.

Last Updated: March 28, 2024

I would like to seek for your approval

This is not correct. Don't use this phrase.

While you can "search for" something, you can't "seek for" it; the verb "seek" is not followed by a preposition.
