	Abil  +  532761 Thu, 26 Jun 08 09:55 AM What is wrong with "Customers are required to check..." If you want to have it in active form, consider the following: Checking of the amount and examination of all notes in exchange before leaving counter is requirted. or, It is requirted that customers should check the amount and examine all notes in exchange before leaving counter.

	happyhour123  +  533183 Fri, 27 Jun 08 04:46 AM Sorry, your example is Passive Form right? 1-Checking of the amount and examination of all notes in exchange before leaving counter is requirted. 2-It is requirted that customers should check the amount and examine all notes in exchange before leaving counter. happyhour123

	Abil  +  533188 Fri, 27 Jun 08 05:05 AM Sorry, that's passive. Here MM is correct. You need to supply a subject to convert your sentence to active form. Abil
