Grammar
#1 I suggest that he go to the doctor as soon as he return from taking examination.
Book says because the sentence involves suggestion so there should be go instead of goes. What kind of rule is this.
#2 In spite of the roadblock the guards allowed us entering/to enter the restricted area.
which One is correct gerund or infinitive??

1. Verbs in relative clauses following predicates of suggestion or recommendation may be in the subjunctive mood. Thus the verb following "that" takes the third person singular subjunctive ("he go") instead of the indicative ("he goes").
