GRAMMAR !!
Do not say 'suggest (someone) to do something'. You can use the following structures:
suggest that somebody do something
• He suggested that we go (NOT suggested us to go) for a drink.
You can miss out 'that'
• What do you suggest we do (NOT suggest us to do)?
suggest doing something
• I suggest wearing (NOT suggest to wear) something warm.
suggest something
• She suggested a walk before dinner. |
