Requested him to leave
1) I requested him to leave.
Could that mean:
a) I asked him to allow me to leave.
I think it can only mean that my request was that he should leave.
2) She refused my request to stay in my house.
I think (b) is ambiguous. It could either mean:
c) My request was that I be allowed to stay in my house and she refused that request.
or
d) My request was that she stay in my house and she refused that request.
Is that correct?
