"She requires of her friend that work be done."
This is labled correct as a command subjunctive, but it appears to break the formula:
Bossy verb + that + subject + command subjunctive
in favor of
Bossy verb + prepositional phrase + that + subject + command subjunctive
Is this allowable in general with command subjunctives?
For example: "The high school teacher demanded of his students that their homework be done."
Thank you!
