“I recommend that you do not” vs. “I recommend you not”
I'm Italian, but I've been studying English for years. I'm sure that the first two sentences are wrong. After verbs like "to recommend", "to propose", "to request" and many others, the use of the subjunctive is required (i.e. the base form of the verb).
An example: I suggested (that) she be on time for the interview.
Am I right?
