Question

Choose the most suitable option to replace the highlighted part of the sentence:
I suggested that he goes to the doctor immediately.

A.

go to doctor at once

B.

should goes to the doctor

C.

go to the doctor immediately

D.

should have go to the doctor

Correct option is C

The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (c) go to the doctor immediately.
Explanation: After verbs like suggest / recommend / insist / demand, we commonly use the structure that + subject + base form of verb (subjunctive). Therefore, “that he goes” is incorrect here; it must be “that he go.” This is a standard grammar pattern used to express advice, recommendation, or necessity. Hence, option (c) corrects the verb form and keeps the meaning unchanged.
Grammatical rule used:
· Suggest + that + subject + base verb (V1) (subjunctive)
· Example: I suggested that she take a break.
· Information booster / exceptions related to the topic:
· In informal English, you may also see: I suggested that he should go… (acceptable), but if “should” is used, the verb must remain base form ( should go, not should goes).
