In use? Conversational?
Could you tell me please if the following sentences are in use at present? Are they conversational?
1.- We insist that he do the job properly.
2.- I propose that she be our next director.
3.- It’s advisable that she keep calm.
4.- I wish I felt better now.
I think that they tend to sound rather formal nowadays.
Thank you in advance
