用法筆記
Often used with a that-clause to state the desired outcome. In formal writing, the subjunctive may appear after 'ensure that' ('The policy ensures that every student be treated fairly'), but the indicative is far more common at all levels. The -ing form 'ensuring' frequently appears in participial phrases that explain how something is achieved.
