【问】 I_______that she come here soon.
 A. suppose B. demand C. think D. believe (Nelson)
 答案为B(demand)，但我不明白这里为什么出现了she come，而不是she comes。
 【答】 英语里凡表示要求、建议、意图、决定、推荐等意义的动词，在正式英语里，尤其是在美国英语里，要求其宾语从句使用现在时虚拟语气(现在虚拟式)(其特征是：无第三人称变化，也无时态变化)：
 1. I demanded that John go there at once. (LDCE)
 我要求约翰马上去那儿。
 2. The employees have demanded that the manager resign. (CGEL)
 雇员们要求经理辞职。
 3. They demanded that the right to vote be given to every adult man. (Hazen)
 他们要求每个成年人都应有选举权。
 具有这种语法特征的动词还有：decide(决定)，ask(要求)，insist(坚持)，order(命令)，prefer(宁愿)，propose(提议)，recommend(推荐、建议)，require(要求)，request(请求)，suggest(建议)。下面让我们举一些例子：
 1. I ask that he leave. (Evans)
 我请他离开。
 2. I insist that he go. (LDCE)
 我坚持让他走。
 3. The king ordered that the man be released. (Eckersley)

 7. He requires that they work all night. (LDCE)

 8. She suggested that I be responsible for the arrangement. (CGEL)

 但是，应当注意，在英国英语中则常常采用should be的形式：
 1. I asked that I should be allowed to see her. (LDCE)
 我请求允许我去看她。
 2. I insisted that he should come with us. (OSD)

 3. ...he always insisted that it should be written out in full. (New Concept English，Book
 3，L.22)
