有如下兩種用法：
1、insist?on/upon?(sb/one's)?(doing)?sth.
如：You?should?insist?on?your?dream.?
You?should?insist?upon?doing?exercise?every?day.?
2、insist?+?that引導的賓語從句
1）如果insist翻譯為“堅持說/堅持認為”，即that從句表示已經發生的動作時，則賓語從句使用陳述語氣，即從句該用什麽時態就用什麽時態，當然還要和主句時態保持呼應。?
如：She?insisted?that?she?was?right.?
She?insisted?(that)?she?had?been?to?Beijing?the?year?before.?
2）如果insist翻譯為“堅持要求/堅持主張”，即that從句的動作當時尚未發生的話，則賓語從句必須使用虛擬語氣，即從句謂語動詞由“should?+?動詞原形”構成，且should可以省略。
如：He?insisted?that?she?(should)?say?sorry?to?him?frist.?
