Are these sentences all gramatically correct?
Oh and I posted this in another section, but I was told it was the wrong one. Is this the right part of the forum for proofreading?

Quiero que vengas a visitarme. Recomiendo que te quedes por una semana. Hay muchos actividades en Huntington Beach. Dudo que te aburras. La playa es muy bonita. Sugiero que traigas una trusa. Prohibo que no te diviertas.

Andres:
You should delete or close the discussion on this thread that you opened incorrectly in the Vocabulary/grammar section.

Obviously this is an exercise using the present subjunctive in clauses after certain verbs expressing doubt, command, etc.
Quiero, recomiendo, dudo, sugiero, prohibo...que...
While I agree that the last sentence sounds awkward, your suggested change puts it outside the purpose of the exercises. In your sentence the present subjunctive is used used because of the conjunction (para que) stating cause. While correct, it may not satisfy his assignment format.
