About a sentence pattern of "S + V1 that S VR" in English. I know a sentence pattern of "S + V1 that S VR" in English. But I don't know how many words of "V1" that I can use in this sentence pattern, and I can't search any information about "V1" from internet…Orz... So can anyone help me to give some words of the "V1" for example? Just like "recommend"...etc…. Thank you very much. ^-^Ps."S + V1 that S VR" = "Subject + Verb 1 + that + Subject + Verb" For example, the sentence:"It's recommended that each of the students studying in University studies English at least one year." What I want to ask is the construction like this analysis↓ "It (Subject)'s recommended (Verb 1) that each of the students (Subject) studying (Verb)~", and I want to know the other Verbs which can put into the "Verb 1" of the construction "Subject + Verb 1 + that + Subject + Verb". Please give me some example for the Verb. Thanks a lot ^-^ And thanks Meir for answering.:)Please give me some example except "recommend" and "suggest"... Thanks a lot ^-^

I think you are confused about the pattern. "It is recommended that..." is expressed is passive form if you want an example with the pattern you detailed (S + V + THAT- CLAUSE), it would be sth like this: (Experts, Teachers, Everybody, etc) recommend that every student at University study English at least for one year. the "that- clause" in this case is a "nominal relative clause": that´s what you should look for Hope this helps

Suggest, propose, recommend, insist, demand are probably what you're looking for. But the sentence you mentioned seems incorrect because of "studies". It should be "study". → It's recommended that each of the students studying in university *study* English at least one year. In American English, they miss out "should" in this kind of sentence pattern, i.e., it's recommended that each of the students studying in universty *should study* English at least one year. British people often use "should" to express the idea of subjunctiveness. American people say "The teacher recommends that students read the book." British people say "The teacher recommends that students should read the book." I recommend that you be 30 minutes early for our trip to India. I recommend that you should be 30 minutes early for our trip to India.

I am not sure what exactly you are looking for. I imagine that V1 stands for verb 1. If you have more than one verb then it is the first verb that is conjugated whereas the second one remains in its infinitive form. By conjugated, I mean that you would modify the verb to match the subject . For example the verb "to run", would be : I run He/she runs It runs We run.... Verbs in their inifinitive (unchanged state) are preceded by the word to . For example, to see, to run, to jump.... So if a sentence has two verbs , the first one being called V1 and the second one being called V2 it would look like this: He runs (V1) to the store to see (V2) if his friend is there. I walk (V1) home to get (V2) my car. I am assuming that S= subject , V1= verb one and that VR= verb. I hope that helps.
