I`ve been taught for years that the verb **recommend** is one of those verbs of advice that cannot be followed by the more usual pattern of object + infinitive but has to be followed by a that-clause with should + infinitive or with past, present or subjunctive form verbs. Recently, however, I found an entry in the Oxford Learner's Dictionary which states that the object + infinitive pattern is indeed possible with the **recommend** verb. Am I missing something here?

Below I enclose the link to the entry:
