[Grammar] I recommend you to move to another city,

[wotcha]

I recommend you to move to another city.


Is this sentence grammatical? I remember once heard that recommend can't

take a person (e.g. he, she, Tom...) as a object, but one of online dictionary says

it is possible. What should I teach to my students?

Some users would consider it substandard, preferring the subjunctive clausal construction recommend that smb. do smth.

However, no one would object to a sentence such as

I recommended him for the job.

where there is no following infinitive.

Though that was clearly a typo/error, it's how I feel about the BrE expression "move house."

Don't put a space before an exclamation mark.
