Verbs to use after RECOMMEND and SUGGEST





Each verb can be followed by:

a noun phrase
a that-clause
or a gerund

RECOMMEND and SUGGEST

1)    recommend + gerund

My doctor recommends eating fresh fruit every day.

 I suggest taking a walk after lunch.

2)    recommend + that + independent clause

We recommend that you buy your tickets early.

 Toni suggests that we hit the road by 6 in the morning.

 hen we use pronouns in the THAT clause, we always use the subject pronoun before the base verb. Usually, in American English, the base verb is used regardless of the subject of the that clause (even with he, she, or it): subjunctive.

She suggested that I go (went) to that store.

I suggested that she go  (went)to that store. Not, I suggested that she goes

Jack recommended that he go (went) to that store. Not, I suggested that he goes

The sofa? The decorator recommended that it go (went) in front of the window. Not, …recommended that it goes

EXPLANATION 1: Spanish

EXPLANATION 2: English (with two videos)

P.S: it's not correct to use infinitive or SHOULD, no matter whether you see it in some webpages. They're typical error made by non native speakers (infinitive mistake) or even native people (SHOULD mistake)
