How to use the English verb SUGGEST | EnglishTeacherMelanie.com

A lot of English learners struggle with the verb suggest because suggest is an unusual English verb. It is not used in a sentence the same way that other verbs are.

Suggest means mention or recommend something to think about, or something someone should do. You suggest a thought or an idea.

1. “I suggest that you call him.”

suggest that someone do something

This is the most difficult use of suggest for English learners to understand, so take some time to read this part of the lesson carefully.

You want to tell someone your opinion. You want to tell them to do something.

Don’t use me, us, you, etc. as indirect object pronouns after suggest. Use a that-clause after suggest.

What is a that-clause?
A clause is any part of a sentence that has a subject and a verb. A sentence is one or more clauses joined together. A that-clause is a clause that starts with the conjunction that. A conjunction joins two clauses or sentences together into one longer sentence.

Start your sentence with this specific structure:

I suggest that

The next part of the sentence needs a subject and a verb, because it’s a clause.

I suggest that someone do something

“Someone” is the subject of the clause. The subject is followed by the verb phrase “do something.”

REMEMBER: Don’t use an infinitive after suggest. Don’t say “I suggest to do something.”

 
Example sentences

I suggest that you memorize sentences instead of grammar rules!

Emily suggests that we go out for dinner after the movie.

My mom suggested that I get a summer job.

Her brother suggests that she study harder so she can get into a good university.

 
Hmmmmm. Let’s look at that last sentence. Do you notice something strange about the verb?

Her brother suggests that she study harder so she can get into a good university.

Shouldn’t it be “she studies“?

No. This is what makes the English verb suggest different from other verbs.

Remember, in this structure, I suggest is followed by a that-clause. A clause contains a subject and a verb.

The verb in the that-clause is the subjunctive form.

Don’t let the word subjunctive scare you! This is a very rare verb form, and it is rarely used in English today.

Learn more: Advanced English grammar: The subjunctive mood

In the subjunctive form, the verb doesn’t change. Don’t add -s or change the verb after the subjects he, she, or it. The verb says in the base form of the verb. The base form, or the bare infinitive, is the simplest form of a verb. It’s the way that you find a verb in the dictionary.

Her brother suggests that she study harder.
NOT: Her brother suggests that she studies harder.

 
NOTE: You cannot use another verb tense in the that-clause. You cannot use the simple past. You must use the subjunctive form.

Also, in American English it is not common to use should in the that-clause. It is more common in British English.

 
More example sentences

She suggests that he go to France instead of Italy this summer.

I suggested that she be Queen Elsa from Frozen for Halloween!

I suggested that he ask someone else for help.

 
Tip: You don’t need to include that in the sentence. It is still a that-clause even if you don’t say or write that in this sentence structure

I suggest you memorize sentences instead of grammar rules!

Emily suggests we go out for dinner after the movie.

My mom suggested I get a summer job.

Her brother suggests she study harder so she can get into a good university.

I suggest you go to the doctor!

She suggests he go to France instead of Italy this summer.

He suggested I ask someone else for help.

 
Tip: Make the that-clause negative by adding not in front of the verb.

The teacher suggests we not waste time playing video games after school.

Learn more: The subjunctive mood + more verbs used in the subjunctive form

REMEMBER: You suggest that someone do something.

2. “He suggested going for a walk together.”

suggest doing something

suggest + gerund

I suggest memorizing sentences instead of grammar rules!

Don’t use an infinitive after suggest! If you use a verb after suggest, use a gerund!

What is a gerund? A gerund is a noun that is formed by adding -ing to a verb.

Example sentences

Her brother suggests studying harder so she can get into a good university.

My doctor suggests eating less and exercising more.

Her family suggested waiting a few years before she gets married.

I suggest not waiting so long to go to the doctor.

The meaning of this sentence is the same as suggest that someone do something.

3. Suggest an idea for a grammar lesson!

suggest something

suggest + noun

Can you suggest a good hotel in Paris?

I can suggest some interesting apps.

I really love this app and will suggest it to everyone.

No politician has suggested a way to improve the economy.

He suggested several different things to do after dinner.

All sentences (with pause)

Used with adjectives:

«That is an excellent suggestion.«
(excellent, great, good, wonderful)

«Thank you for your helpful suggestion.«
(helpful, useful)

«His stupid suggestion almost got her fired.«
(stupid, ridiculous, dumb)

«Do you have any other suggestions?«
(other, alternative, better)

The word “suggest” is a verb. A verb is an action word — it tells what the subject in the sentence is doing. In this case, the verb “suggest” means to provide an idea or convey a thought to be considered. The word comes from an old Latin word meaning “to prompt.” Start with Step 1 below to learn how to use the verb «suggest» in a grammatically correct manner.

  1. Image titled Use the Verb Suggest Step 1

    1

    Choose the subject of your sentence. The subject of a sentence is the person, place, thing or idea that is doing the action. To begin your sentence, choose who or what will be doing the suggesting.

    • People are the most likely types of nouns to suggest something, as they frequently convey thoughts or ideas through language. Choose a person’s name to use in an example sentence using the word suggest, such as «Sally».
    • But what other kinds of nouns work with the verb suggest? Sometimes, things can be suggestive. For instance, “evidence” is often used in coordination with “suggest,” as in, “The evidence suggests the dog ate his homework.”
    • Other nouns might not work as well; for instance, you might have a hard time making a sentence with “drinking glass” as the subject and “suggest” as the verb, as it’s difficult for a glass to suggest something (though not impossible).

    Next, add in the verb. After you have chosen the subject of your sentence, it’s time to add the verb «suggest». In general, a verb is a word that expresses an action, feeling or a state of being. You will need to conjugate the word «suggest» depending on the subject.

    • In our example, the subject «Sally» is a third person singular noun. The third person singular form of “suggest” is “suggests,” so your sentence will read “Sally suggests.”
    • If the subject of your sentence was in first person singular, such as «I», you would use the first person singular form of the verb, which is simply «suggest». In this example, your sentence would read «I suggest».

    Include the direct object. The direct object of a sentence is the thing that the verb is being done to. It can be a noun, pronoun, phrase or clause. In relation to the verb «suggest», the direct object is the thing that is being suggested.

    • To find the direct object of your example sentence, ask yourself what Sally is suggesting? If you can answer that question, you’ve found your direct object. For instance, maybe Sally is suggesting ice cream for dessert.
    • In this case, “ice cream” is the noun that becomes the direct object. Add this direct object to the end of the sentence, after the verb «suggests“. This forms the sentence: «Sally suggests ice cream for dessert.”

    Learn how to structure your sentence when the direct object is an entire phrase. Sometimes, the direct object is a bit more complicated, when a verb phrase or clause acts as a noun.

    • For instance, if Sally suggested going to eat ice cream, the sentence would sound like this one: “Sally suggests we go eat ice cream.”
    • In this case, the direct object is the whole clause, “we go eat ice cream” because Sally is suggesting that whole idea; therefore, the whole idea is acting as one noun. This makes it a direct object. [1]

    Change the form of the word «suggest» depending on which pronoun is used. Sometimes a pronoun is used instead of a noun. A pronoun is a replacement for a noun, such as «you», «we». «it», «he» or «she».[2]

    • When using “I” or “You” in its singular form, pair it with “suggest,” such as “I suggest picking flowers,” or “You suggest it to the group.”
    • When using “We” or “You” in the plural form, you also pair it with “suggest.” For instance, the sentence could be “We suggest a different color,” or “You (all) suggest eating out.”
    • In fact, the only time you use the form “suggests” is with third person singular, such as in the «Sally» example above or when using “he” or “she.” The third person plural “they” uses “suggest” rather than “suggests.”

    2

    Change «suggest» to «suggested» in the past tense. A past tense verb tells your reader (or listener) that the action happened in the past, rather than right now. The past tense of “suggest” is “suggested.”

    • If you made a suggestion to your boss yesterday, you could say, “I suggested it to Rob yesterday, but he didn’t like the idea.”
    • Keep in mind that “suggested” is the past tense no matter whether the noun or pronoun is first, second, or third person or whether it is singular or plural.

    3

    Change «suggest» to «will suggest» in the future tense. Like past tense, the future tense is all the same for “suggest.” Future tense tells your reader that the action will happen in the future. The future tense for “suggest” is “will suggest”, no matter whether you are using first person singular (“I”) or third person plural (“they”).

    • If your girlfriend wants to make a suggestion in a meeting tomorrow, she might say, “I will suggest that idea tomorrow.”
    • Additionally, if you want to tell someone else what your girlfriend is going to do, you can say: «she said she will suggest that tomorrow.”

    Know the meaning of the word «suggest». “Suggest” is the verb form of “suggestion.” When you make a suggestion, you offer an opinion.

    • The word “suggest” is similar to the word «demand», in that they are both putting forth a request. However, “demand” is a very strong word; when you demand something, you are not giving the person you are talking to much of a choice. You are willing them to do something.
    • The word “suggest”, on the other hand, is more of a request. You want your idea to be heard, but you are not requiring that it be fulfilled. When you suggest to a group that you go for ice cream, you are hopeful that you will be able to go, but you are open to other thoughts and ideas.

    2

    Understand how the word «suggest» works within the structure of a sentence. “Suggest” is a transitive verb. Therefore, a sentence containing the word «suggest» must have a subject, the verb “suggest,” and a direct object.

    • All sentences must have a subject. A subject is a noun or a pronoun, which is a person, place, thing, or idea. A pronoun stands in for a noun; it is a way of referring to something without saying the same word over and over again. Examples of pronouns include «he», «she», «it» and «they».
    • All sentences must also have a verb. Whereas the noun or pronoun does the action, the verb is the action; i.e. it tells what the noun is doing.
    • Some verbs are called transitive verbs, which means they must have a direct object. A direct object is also noun or pronoun. However, this time, the action is happening to the noun, rather than performing the action.

  • Most of the time, in present tense, you will use the word “suggest” in a sentence, with the exception of third person singular, which takes “suggests.” Also, remember that “suggest” always takes a direct object, so remember to add what is being suggested to the end of the sentence.

  • The pronoun “I” is first person singular, because you are referring to yourself and only one of you exists. “We” is also first person, because you are referring to a group you are including yourself in, but it is plural, as it includes more than one person. “You” is called second person. “You” can be singular or plural, depending on the context.
