English Grammar: How to Use the Verb “Suggest”

April 26, 2012 by Melanie

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:

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

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

Example sentences

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

Nicole Bao says

Hello, Melanie! Thanks for your explanation, it really helps me a lot! I feel lucky to find your website and it is one of the happiest things today! Thank you again!

Great job Miss Melanie! You helped me so much! Your blog is so useful! Real treasure!
Regards from Greece!

Pham Hong Danh says

Thank you so much for your post. There isn’t any information in dictionaries noticing the base form of verbs after ‘suggest that …’. Many of us thought the verb has to be put in suitable tenses as usual, just like this ‘I suggest he goes …’

I want to thank you for your excelent blog and explanation about the “suggest”. I will no longer have problem with this tricky word.
Best wishes,
Pedro.

excellent post.
Thank you so much. Finally some one explain it clearly

Thanks for the useful article!

just to say that you are doing a great job. This “lesson” was very helpful and your way of teaching is clear and easy to understand. Or, in other words, it`s effective.

Hi, Melanie!
What you’re doing here on this site is worth taking time and trouble! Thank you a lot for such awesome explanations!

Thank you Melanie it is very interesting subjet. I will keep in mind this new lesson.
Have a happy day
Luciana

Thank you Melanie! 🙂

I’ve never seen such a clear explanation like this, congratulations. Your way to explain grammar rules is absolutely fantastic,God bless you. Thanx a lot. Kisses.

Thank you very much; it is quite useful for spanish native speakers.

Pedro Hammerman says

All of your explanations are great! Go on like that!

Hi, Melanie,
That is a super great explanation. Thanks!

Melanie says

You don’t need to use question tags with “suggest.” Your sentence is not correct. It doesn’t make sense.

Harshit Agarwal says

Hi Melanie,
Really useful guidelines above. But I have a doubt..
What would you be the correct sentence for
“I suggest you to work hard to succeed. “

Melanie says

Here are some better sentences:
“I suggest you work hard if you want to succeed.”
“You need to work hard to succeed.”

Hi Melanie, great job! Your piece of work is worth reading. You really help me pass new knowledge and skills to my pupils. Teacher of English from Kenya.

Benedict Min says

No politician has suggested a way to improve the economy.

He suggested several different things to do after dinner.

I think, according to your lesson of “Don’t use an infinitive after suggest. Don’t say “I suggest to do something.”, infinitive “to” should be deleted from “to improve” and “to do”

Melanie says

It is fine to use an infinitive in these sentences because it is part of the noun phrase after the verb suggest.

The sentence structure is “suggest something.” In the two example sentences, “something” is a noun phrase:
“a way to improve the economy”
“several different things to do after dinner.”

I hope that is clearer now!

Benedict Min says

It is crystal clear now.
Thank you very much, Melanie!

Thank you, Melanie, It was a versatile explanation.

Here’s another example of subjunctive use in a that clause whose preceding main verb is ‘ask,’ as opposed to ‘suggest’: “Once prosecutors determined that Greene’s cooperation with them had finished they asked that the judge unseal some of the documents.” I’ve seen other such examples of the subjunctive’s being used following an independent clause whose main verb was other than ‘that.’

Melanie says

Yes, you are correct! I have updated the section on the subjunctive and I have also written a new lesson on the subjunctive that includes a list of verbs of advice & suggestion that are used with the subjunctive:
https://www.englishteachermelanie.com/advanced-english-grammar-the-subjunctive-mood/

Thank you very much.
I want to ask you, please.
Is there any verb like ” suggest ” I mean has the same rule?

Kind regards,
Awatef

Melanie says

First, I want to be clear that we are not talking about “rules”! I don’t like talking about “rules” because people don’t become fluent in a language by learning “rules.”

Here, this lesson explains the different ways to use the verb suggest in a sentence. These are sentence structures.

I don’t know all the verbs that follow these structures, but I will do some research and report back to you in one week!

EDIT: You can read more about the subjunctive mood & learn other verbs that follow the same sentence structure here:
https://www.englishteachermelanie.com/advanced-english-grammar-the-subjunctive-mood/

Thank you,Melanie!
For: answering me and sending me the book.

Melanie says

I think that you’re thinking of a different definition of suggest.

When you use suggest to mean give someone a suggestion, or say that you think someone should do something, or that you recommend someone or something, you cannot use the present simple or the past simple instead of the subjunctive. You can only use the subjunctive in the that-clause.

That is the most common definition of suggest.

However, less common is using suggest as a synonym of the verb imply, which means to say something in an indirect way. When you use suggest this way, you can use the past & present simple in the that-clause. I have left out this definition as it would make the lesson more confusing!

“What are you suggesting? Are you suggesting that she slept in yesterday?”
= What are you saying? What are you implying?

Thanks for the explanations. They are simple and very useful.
But I learned that we could use the past simple in the that-clause according to Raymond Murphy. He gives the following example: “Jim suggested that I bought a car”. Could you comment on it?

Melanie says

This is a great question! Are you talking about the Raymond Murphy Grammar in Use textbooks?

There are two versions of the textbooks: an American version and a British version. If you are using the American version, it will say on the cover “… for students of North American English,” or you can check the preposition section. If it says “at the weekend,” it’s a British book. If it says “on the weekend,” it’s an American book.

Raymond Murphy is British. I’m Canadian, and in Canada we follow American grammar structures, so I teach American grammar. I don’t know enough about British grammar to comment on it. In American English, “Jim suggested that I bought a car” is not a correct sentence. In American English, we don’t use the past tense in the that-clause. The correct sentence in American English is “Jim suggested that I buy a car.”

I hope that helps!
: )

Thank you very much Melanie. It really helped me.

My gosh. I found this very helpful! I am glad I just signed for this website. Look forward to more informative articles.

This is really interesting. Which other verbs or structures use subjunctive? Thank you!

Melanie says

Abhi india says

It’s really useful. I’d been struggling with this topic for a while and this explanation is clear and simple, even refreshing! Made me feel I understood right away. Thank you

Offer and Suggest — упражнения

Remember:

Глаголы offer и suggest различаются как по смыслу, так и структурно. Offer близок по значению к русским словам «дать», «угостить» и «вызваться», а suggest — к словам «посоветовать», «выдвинуть идею». После offer идет или существительное, или инфинитив, а после suggest – существительное, герундий или придаточное предложение. Подробно обо всем этом можно почитать в статье «В чем разница между offer и suggest?»
