Advised ... that S has been predicted
Dear People,
Reading a drill book of error detection, I came across
the following sentence. The book says NO ERROR can
be detected on a side note.
Please help me properly understand it semantically
and grammatically.
I seem to understand what is said by the sentence,
but actually feel a bit uncomfortable when translating it
into my native tongue.
Presidents are advised that the typhoon has been predicted
to cause damage over a wide area.
This sentence itself seems to make sense, while I feel like
it would be better to change it to:
Presidents are advised that the typhoon be predicted
to cause damage over a wide area.
Still, I am not sure whether it could make sense or not.
Thank you.
