English Language & Usage Asked by Adam Baranyai on February 17, 2021
As not being an english native, I have trouble deciding which version of this sentence is correct gramatically?
Grant special permissions to your employees to use different features of this program for a more streamline workflow.
or
Grant special permissions to your employees to use different features of this program for a more streamlined workflow.
When I read this sentence out loud, the version with the streamlined word sounds ok to me, but some of my friends and colleagues are saying that the correct form is with the streamline version, because streamlined would be in past tense.
With how you have written the sentence the second one is correct. A native speaker would not use 'streamline' in that context. By saying 'for a...' you are describing the software after it has been streamlined, not the actual process of streamlining itself.
If you want to use the present tense of the verb 'streamline' you would use 'to...' instead of 'for a...' and the sentence would end like this-
Grant special permissions to your employees to use different features of this program to streamline the workflow.
