recommend you to

[M56]

This example is from an FCE study book, but is it correct?

"I'd recommend you to study more if you want to pass."

[Tdol]

It seems correct to me- polite form + real situation.

I do not find it acceptable in US English. But I could easily believe that it would be acceptable in other dialects.

I would say, "I recommend that you study more..."

It seems correct to me- polite form + real situation.

Is there a missing "for"?

"recommend for you to ...."

[Tdol]

I don't think so. I would use the version Kaboodles used, but I don't see the stucture as wrong, nor why it would require 'for'.

How about:
I recommend to you to study more if you want to pass.

[Tdol]

OOh- a spot of rhetoric. That would work, especially if accompanied by a pointed finger, and a booming voice would help.

Oh! It is a good thing you told me that. I thought "I recommend that you study..." was more authoritative in tone. These are details when you're learning a languge, but you might sometimes get in trouble if you don't know them.
