|
Hello,
I'd like to know about verb "admit."
I think #2 is correct but the book I have says # 1 is correct.
1. I heard you have admitted to the college.
2. I heard you were admitted to the college.
I appreciate your help dearly. |

I heard you have been admitted to the college. is best.
Otherwise, without the been, #2 is correct.
