Question

I have a clarification with regard to the use of require, is it used as

1. 'require'

 or

2. 'require..that'

BOTH

from OG 11th The correct usage is: require x to do y OR require that x y

Antmavel · Answer

so you say :
I require that he give his car to someone else
rather than :
I require that he giveS his car to someone else

correct ?

nero44 · Answer

In theory, that sentence would be grammatically correct, even though it sounds awkward. you would rather use the "to do" construction.

I require him to give his car to someone else.

An example of this construction, which I encountered quite frequently in SC questions is:

The law of the state requires that Antemavel Corporation disclose all information to its stakeholders.

No, it should be "he gives" since he is singular.

I require that he gives his car to someone else. 

I require that they give their car to someone else.

Yes? No? Maybe?

It depends upon how it is used in context.

According to Cambridge:

require 

verb   
to need or make necessary:

Please telephone this number  if you require any further  information.
Skiing at 80 miles per hour  requires total concentration .
  Bringing up children often  requires you to put their needs first. You are required by law to stop your car after an accident.
   The rules require that  you bring only one guest to the dinner.

Antmavel · Answer

"the rules require that he brings only one guest"
or
"the rules require that he bring only one guest"

the first one seems correct

I suppose the best way would be "the rules require him to bring only one guest", right ?
