Guys & Girls,

I am a little bit confused on this "command mood" topic.

According to the MGMAT SC book, the bossy verb "request" has ONLY one form ON THE GMAT: "REQUEST THAT HE DO".
However, my GMAT instructor said that both forms are correct ,ie, REQUEST HIM TO DO is also correct.

So, should I stick with the book rule or my instructor is correct ?

Thanks !!!

I think both are correct but in GMAT you wil never face a Delima to elimate based on these 2.

the rule is
subjunctive: "command/request/order + that + noun + bare verb"
(The judge ordered that he be locked up).

infinitive: "command/request/order + noun + infinitive"
(The judge ordered him to be locked up).

OG 10 offers questions in which "require" can be used in following cases

require somebody to do something

require that somebody do(be) something-- (do is infinitive without to)

require of somebody something. This dose exist.

I do not know "request" but if you can remember the cases with "require" to attack a question with "request"

Thanks guys for the response, but it is very clear in the MGMAT SC book the with "request" you must use "that". I wish Stacey could answer this one...
