I suggest this action /
At present there is nothing to prevent this
WHEN FOLLOWED BY A VERB ALWAYS USE +ING FORM
I suggest going but I suggest (that) you phone
‘How about ? ‘ and ‘What about .?’ have a slightly
different inference.
How about ? is considered feasible by the speaker
What about ? suggests that there may be an underlying
problem
However:
‘How about you?’ and ‘What about you?’ have the same
meaning.
I propose this action / This is considered a feasible solution
as nothing stops us from doing this
USE THE BASE FORM OF VERB:
We could go
Let’s go
We could buy
You should get
We could pick them up
Don’t forget
You’d better hurry up.
Why don’t we ask ?
Shall I phone ?
The best thing to do / I suggest this as
an answer to your question / This is considered a feasible solution /
I suggest you tell me
I suggest we do this ( I have just thought about it) / I offer to do this and want an answer
2nd conditional (but I am not you)
I suggest you remember this There is a problem related to this
You’d better hurry up, Mary! I suggest phoning them once
we are off If they want to come we could pick them up
when we pass their house on our way to the supermarket
I’m sure I’m going to enjoy myself What about you?
Well, let’s go shopping!
We could buy everything we need at the
supermarket on our way there
If I were you, I’d put two glasses in the basket as well, and don’t forget the bottle opener.
But what about preparing the sandwiches? We’ll need
to take a knife
The right thing to do as I am already doing something
There is an underlying problem

OK While I’m getting a knife and some plates,
you should get the car out of the garage.

How about going for a picnic?
We could go to Sherwood Forest for the afternoon.
The weather’s great today I want to go out but I don’t know where to go or what to
do Have you got any ideas, Mary?
