I found the following sentence in a tutorial that I’m following these days.
The coach insisted that the marching band statue be taken down.
While I was reading it, I was wondering what would happen if we add “to” before “be” to form the following sentence.
The coach insisted that the marching band statue to be taken down.
Is the above sentence - the second one - grammatically correct? Plus, if it’s in line with grammar rules, what is the difference between these two sentences when it comes to the meaning of the sentences.
