command sentence structure

What is correct: Officials recommend that everyone eat more fruit OR Officials recommend that everyone eats more fruit? Plural or singular "eat"?

Re: command sentence structure

The answer is both are correct.

This is not really about about plural or single, it's a question of whether to apply the subjunctive mood. There is a lot of leniency on whether it should be applied, so I just both to be correct.

Here is a link: subjunctive mood.
