Hi guys. i just went through some materials on sentence correction today and came across an example in the verbal subjunctive portion: "She recommended that John should take the ferry".
I read that the" should take "is wrong and should be changed to "TAKE". This is because one should always use the base form of the verb in subjunctive constructions involving the "THAT " right?
I then came across a question : "the ground swell of public opinion made it inevitable that the Senate would approve the president's energy proposals.".Since I didn't see a better option than the above statement , I stuck to option A which was correct according to the authors. So my question is this : is the sentence correct, and is this an example of an exemption to the rules.I'd really love to know. Thanks.
