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.              ---        * Origin: nntps://fidonews.mine.nu - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/6.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/19 123 15/2 16/0 120/544 123/130 131 203/0 221/1 6 360       SEEN-BY: 226/17 227/114 229/354 426 1014 240/1120 2100 5138 5832 5853       SEEN-BY: 249/206 317 261/38 280/5003 317/3 320/119 219 322/0 757 342/200       SEEN-BY: 640/1384 2454/119       PATH: 221/6 1 320/219 240/5832 229/426           |
