1)I'd like to inform you that he has passed the exam.
2)I'd like to inform you whether you are wrong or not.
3)I'd like to inform you when you have to apply for the job. |
I've made the examples in the quote for myself. Are they correct?
If there are any mistakes, can you correct me?
Thanks. |

All the sentences are correct, but they are a little awkward. The first one is fine. The second one would be better as "I`ll tell you if you are wrong or not" and the third as "I`ll let you know when it is time to apply for the job."
"I`d like to inform" is a little formal and probably best used with "that" or "about."
If someone were trying to sell you a service they would say: "I`d like to inform you about our new discount plan."
If someone were making an announcement they would say: "I`d like to inform you that there is a car with its lights on in the parking lot."
