   AK> It's  interesting -- if  you  had  used  "want"  instead   
   AK> "suggest" would you add "to" before "add"?   
   AK>   
   AK> "I may want you TO add comma here".   
      
   It  depends  on  how  you  compose  your  sentence:  with  a   
   dependent clause in the subjunctive or with an adverb:   
      
     a.  I want (that) he (shall) add a comma here.   
     b.  I want him to add a comma here.   
      
   I  used  the  thrid-person pronoun to make the case obvious:   
   the nominative in a. and the objective in b.  Optional words   
   are   in   parentheses.    You  can't  use  `suggest' -- nor   
   `recommend', for that matter -- in b:   
      
     1.  I recommended him to my friends, but   
     2.  I recommended that he read the book.
