Grammar: "certificate" usage
I have a doubt, please explain and give your suggestion (usage of certify / certificate).
In a bonafide certificate given by the principal it was stated like this.
“This is certificate that Mr. was a student of the Department of Mechanical Engineering.”
Is it right? “Certificate” can be used as transitive verb?
Thanks
