New regulations require that every cyclist in the tour De France has to be tested for performance enhancing substance.
Here "require" is followed by that and hence the correct format should be command subjunctive (be tested) .
But what if we replace 'require' with "advise" , that only takes the infinitive form .
In this case how would the sentence read ?
Really confused please help.
Thanks in advance
this is a non-issue -- you couldn't make that substitution in the first place, for two reasons.
first, "regulations" are
rules -- basically, the legal code of the sport of cycling. clearly, rules can't "advise" people to do things or not to do them; they can just declare what is and isn't allowed.
second, it's not possible to combine "advise" with "has to be...", since those ideas contradict each other. i.e., if something is a requirement, then stating the requirement does not constitute "advice".
