Usage notes

• (ask for without demanding) This is a catenative verb that takes the gerund (the form ending in -ing). See Appendix:English catenative verbs
• The intended meaning can be signalized by conjugation. In the first and second senses, the indicative mood is used, and in the third sense, the subjunctive mood is used. “The researcher's work suggests that school is run differently.” means that the researcher's work indicates that school is run differently from another idea of how it is run, while “The researcher's work suggests that school (should) be run differently.” means that the researcher's work indicates that school ought be run differently from how it is actually run or from another idea of how it could be run. However, in informal British English, the indicative is often used for both meanings, and in all dialects, should can be left out even when the indicative and subjunctive look identical without it, possibly leading to ambiguity.
