JUNHEE LEE Will these be ok to say. Oh, I can understand them, but they are not good grammar. Use this: He recommends/recommended that I take a long vacation.

Thank you so much.

Can I use

"He recommends me to take a long vacation."?

How does it sound?

Bad. Some of my students try that, too, but 'recommend' doesn't work that way in that context. It works in this sort of sentence: He recommends a new medicine to me every time.
