I came across a sentence from BBCBBC English at work. The video is an English at worklesson, and it isin which a male character has just suggested some phrases that "Anna" can use to negotiate a price with a potential customer. The narrator then addresses the viewer:

Let's remind ourselves of the phrases he suggested Anna uses when negotiating a sale.

What I've learned here and here is that with the verb, suggest, you can only use either 1) suggest + infinitive verb or 2) suggest + ing, as in

  1. He suggested (that) Anna (should) use these phrases.
  2. He suggested using these phrases to Anna.

So isn't the sentence from the BBC grammatically incorrect? What have I got wrong? Thank you in advance.
