當demand當動詞時，並沒有demand S to V的用法，所以OG的解釋才會說ungrammatical expression，以下是從longman所查到的解釋:

demand [transitive]
to ask for something very firmly, especially because you think you have a right to do this
■Angry demonstrators demanded the resignation of two senior officials.
demand to know/see/have etc something
■I demand to know what's going on.
demand that
■They demanded that the military government free all political prisoners.
demand something of somebody
■It seemed that no matter what she did, more was demanded of her.
■'Where are you going?' she demanded angrily.
