From the Man Sc got to know about the below rules. Do one really need to cram them up.
I am for sure going to forget the list and very bad at cramming things up . Any suggestions regarding easy ways of remembering the below list ?

Verbs that take ONLY the Command Subjunctive:
Demand, dictate, insist, mandate, propose, recommend, request, stimulate, suggest

Verbs that take ONLY the Infinitive:
Advice, Allow, Forbid, Persuade, Want

Verbs that take EITHER the Command Subjunctive OR the Infinitive:
Ask, Beg, Intend, Order, Prefer, Urge, Require

infinite 'to' expresses intention. More so, to is a preposition.Thus a noun or a noun clause will follow after to.
Also this is the structure - advice 'somebody' to 'something. Allow,want all fit in this respect.

for that - it will be a relative clause without the main subject in the clause,as main subject will be giving the command subjunctive verb.

More so, with daily practice one can train one's ears such as allow that..or want that does not sound proper usage.
