Alexander Koryagin to Ardith Hinton: AH>> why I may suggest you add a comma here or there even AH>> though it appears on the surface that I'm not taking my AH>> own advice. :-) AK> AK> It's interesting -- if you had used "want" instead AK> "suggest" would you add "to" before "add"? AK> AK> "I may want you TO add comma here". It depends on how you compose your sentence: with a dependent clause in the subjunctive or with an adverb: a. I want (that) he (shall) add a comma here. b. I want him to add a comma here. I used the thrid-person pronoun to make the case obvious: the nominative in a. and the objective in b. Optional words are in parentheses. You can't use `suggest' -- nor `recommend', for that matter -- in b: 1. I recommended him to my friends, but 2. I recommended that he read the book. --- * Origin: nntps://fidonews.mine.nu - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/6.0) |
