Subject: Re: grammar questions - you're welcome!
Hi Adele and everyone, It is definitely only "you are welcome" and I believe that "welcome" is an adjective, same as saying "you are rich" or "you are tall." Have never, even seen nor heard "welcomed" except as an active verb as in "He welcomed his guests."

Are we supposed to write:
"You are welcome" or "You are welcomed"? I usually see it the first way,
but what is it, then? "You are welcome/d to join us" sounds like it is passive
(hence V3: welcomed) but I don't remember ever seeing it that way.
Anyone got any answers?
