    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.

    • @EnglishwithMax
      @EnglishwithMax  3 роки тому +5

      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. :)

      @@GabrielaAttar No worries! I'd say they're the same in terms of formality, but it's mainly Britons who use the "should" structure. Generally speaking, I think it's more common not to use "should".

      @@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!

      @@GabrielaAttar Oh, I didn't realise you were a teacher as well! I know what you mean. I lived in France for about six years and I'd say my French is quite advanced, but I'm still often unsure about style and connotations in French. I think what makes it even trickier is that native speakers don't always agree! :D

    Hi Ma'am.
    I'm your fan and am very thankful for that video about "Subjunctive Mood" that you had uploaded a year ago. There I learned many things from you and have been learning many things as well from other video series.
    Which of these sentences is correct number 1 or 2.
    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

    "All the evidence suggests (that) he stole the money."
    "There's no absolute proof, but all the evidence suggests (that) he's guilty."

    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.

    @LuisCarlos-tz6ko 3 роки тому

    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.

    • @EnglishwithMax
      @EnglishwithMax  3 роки тому

      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.

    Hello, teacher! I found this sentence on Oxford Lexico dictionary. 'I suggested to her we start our own scholarly website and she was very taken with that idea.’ Could you please explain whether it is right?

    • @EnglishwithMax
      @EnglishwithMax  2 роки тому +1

      Yes, that's correct. You can't say "I suggested her we...", but you CAN say "I suggested to her...".

      @@karshanbharadwaj8589 Yes, you can use that.
      Just remember that if the thing that you're recommending is a noun (and not an action), you should say: I recommended (noun) to her.
      E.g. I recommended that restaurant to her.

      @@karshanbharadwaj8589 You can say that, but it sounds much more natural if you just say: I recommended that she go to the new restaurant.
      It's implied that you recommended it to her.

      No. You need to say "he recommended that I do sth" or "he recommended doing sth".

      Haha, thank you so much!
      Your sentences are all correct except these ones:
      - I recommend that he drinks a lot of water. -> drink
      - I recommend that Ethel gets her act together! -> get
      - I recommend Ethel getting her act together! -> I recommend getting her act together. (But we don't usually use this for reflexive nouns. We'd normally just say: I recommend (that) she get her act together.)
      Some nice advice. :D
