Hi! Is it possible to say "recommend that she takes (with "s") or (that) she should take"? I've heard it and read it but I'm not quite sure about the differences among all these versions. Could you please expand a little bit on this topic? Thanks! Gaby.

Good questions. People sometimes add the S (e.g. takes) in spoken language, but it's not really grammatically correct. Yes, you can use "should" in these sentences as well. The meaning stays the same. :)

@@EnglishwithMax You can't imagine how much I appreciate your interesting and useful comments because I feel we (teachers of English) worldwide may read and study a lot about what is grammatically correct and possible in English, but we don't have the so-called native-speaker intuition when it comes to using a grammar structure in daily life. A structure may be grammatically possible, but it may have fallen into disuse and we (non-natives) don't know it. I live in Argentina and I love English with all my heart, so your comments are really important for me. Thank you very much!

Because somebody told me that this number 1 is also correct as well. 1) He suggest to me where I should shop for good watches. 2) He suggest where I should shop for good watches to me

Thanks for replying. I would follow these formats.😙🙂🙂🙂🙂

It may seem weird but, although Portuguese tenses are harder, in this case, I do prefer them. I mean, we follow the verbs with the according tense, so we say: recomendo que pegue (present subjunctive) um táxi, recomendei que pegasse (past subjunctive) um taxi. In english what marks the past is only the first verb which is a bit confusing at first: I recommend/recommended/have recommended he TAKE a taxi. The second verb simply doesn't follow 🤣😵‍💫 but we can always use should to mark the past.

Thanks, that's just the video that I look for. Here are my three pieces of advice: I suggest that he drink less alcohol in the future. I suggest walking in the park to you and that may help you feel happy. I recommend an App to her, so she can keep track of her spending and manage her money more effectively.

Recommend

Hello Max, I always thought you use "recommend" if you are convinced of an idea and "suggest" is more like "I'm not sure but we can try ..." The words are described differently in the online cambridge dictionary. Could you say "I really suggest the chicken with the mushroom suce." if you know (not guessing) it's delicious?

Would you please assist me with how to differentiate past and present subjunctive mood, using the 👉 clause 👉👉THAT. Example: 😀 Suppose that you met(past subjunctive mood) the president next week, what would you say to him? or I recommended that he took(past subjunctive mood) a taxi tomorrow morning....... I guess those sentences are right because I used (past subjunctive mood=expresses hypothetical situations) and regardless of the verbs (met and took) are in their past form of indicative mood, it doesn't have nothing to do with past tense of indicative mood but it refers to "past subjunctive mood" which is utilized for unreal actions where past subjunctive mood always reflects and expresses further possibilty and more vaguely probability that something happens than (present subjunctive mood=suppose that you meet the president next week, what would you say to him? or I recommended that he take a taxi tomorrow morning) since "subjunctive mood" is a declarative mood rather than a tense mood like indicative mood. As in Spanish Portuguese French Italian language etc. I do need your immidiate help to understand this... thanks a lot!! 🤷‍♂️🤲

Hi, I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure what your question is, but if it's in the past the sentence should be: I recommended that he take a taxi the following morning. In a "that" clause after verbs like "recommend", it's more correct to use the present subjunctive. If it's a hypothetical situation, you could say: If I met the president next week, I would recommend that he take a taxi the following day.
