 * @Backinstadiums: Hi! You have added "assure" to the definition of... "assure". I think you meant some other verb. Jack who built the house (talk) 03:36, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

Assure vs ensue: A person assures (makes promises to, convinces) other people, our hosts assured us that we would have comfortable rooms; a person ensures (makes certain) that events take place, our hosts ensured that we had comfortable rooms. If the verb is in the active voice, a predicate beginning with that should be introduced by ensure.
