Subject - Verb Concord
Is this sentence correct?
"I suggest that he consult a doctor immediately."
Yes, it is. Though, apparently, the subordinate clause (he consult a doctor immediately) does not display the subject-verb concord, 'he consult' needs to be construed as 'he should consult'. The auxiliary verb 'should' in such cases can be unexpressed.
