What is the difference between the three sentences? |
The first two sentences are correct.
The third sentence is incorrect. The verb "reccomend" should be followed by subjunctive.
e.g. She reccomended that he see a doctor right away.
"Should be kept" - is stronger in emphasing the idea of keeping the prisoner in jail for another three months.
