please explain

[quest]

Hi teacher:

Please help me.

1) I recommended that he comes on time for the interview.
2) I recommended that he come on time for the interview.

Please explain, why the 2nd sentence is correct. Why not the first sentence?

Thanks in advance.

Quest

because subjunctive was used.

I don't think so . I think neither of them is correct ,

but

we are waiting till tdol answer this question

[rajan]

2nd is subjunctive.

I think we can also say

I suggested him to come on time for the interview.

This sentence needs a "to" before "him," like this:

I recommended TO him to come on time for the interview.

You are not recommending the person himself--you are making a recommendation TO the person. Hope that makes sense.

Most natural:

I suggested that he come on time for the interview.
Although "I recommended that he come on time for the interview" is also fine.
