You Are Welcomed. (Bad or Good)

Hi,

Is it bad English to say "You are welcomed?"

Yes, if you say it when someone says 'Thank you' to you.



But a sentence like this is OK.

When you visit this new restaurant, you are welcomed by the owner.

Best wishes, Clive

You are cordially welcomed to the party. You have been welcomed.

BUT. "You are welcomed" combine present tense "are" and past tense "welcomed" in a manner that would not sound right to an American English user.

You are welcomed to the party by the hostess - this is grammatically correct, and sounds just fine to me, a native speaker of American English.

I have seen a printed banner somewhere.. and some text on the banner like this: "You are welcomed to this event". Is it correct too?

I don't find it correct, no.

The best banner would be: Welcome to the X Festival!

Okay would be: We welcome you to the X Festival!

If someone is standing at the gate saying this to everyone who comes in, then you were welcomed upon entering, but "You are welcomed to the X Festival" on a banner doesn't work.

Is a sentence like "He would be more than welcomed to talk" bad grammatically?

Hi,



It's not wrong, but it sounds very odd.

Say "He would be more than welcome to talk".

He would be more than welcome to talk - ok
He would be more than welcomed to talk - doesnt make sense in the future aspect
