@flavio People often use two of these phrases without thinking about grammatical correctness. Only one of the three phrases is correct, however. Let's take a look at each one. "Be rest assured" incorrectly casts "rest assured" as an adjective. You can be happy (adjective), sad (adjective), or grateful (adjective), but "rest assured" is not usually used as an adjective. "Rest assure" casts "assure" as an adverb modifying the verb REST. The word "assure," however, can function only as a verb. "Rest assured" correctly casts "assured" as an adverb. An adverb answers the question "how" (among others). For example, HOW should you rest? Rest "assured." #2 is correct Regards |
