Correct sentence?

Is [She demanded "of" him to see the manager] same as [She demanded that he should see the manager?] in a sense.

Could anyone help me clarify it?

Thanks.

No, not in my interpretation, at least with no more context. As I interpret it, in the first sentence the demand is that she should see the manager (and that he should facilitate this somehow). Is there any more context to clarify which meaning was meant?

  • By the way, it is not correct style in English to put quoted material in square brackets.
  • Also, I do not recommend highlighting words in sentences using quotation marks.
