Confirm can mean make an arrangement certain or say that information is correct.
The idea
Use confirm the time, confirm a booking or confirm that the room is available. The thing confirmed can follow the verb directly, and the regular past is confirmed.
Examples
- Please confirm the meeting time by email.
- She confirmed that the room was available.
- Can you confirm your booking today?
- They confirmed the date after checking the calendar.
- I will confirm the details tomorrow.
- The guest confirmed that she would arrive at six.
