中学英语常考知识点：suggest的用法归纳
1)Suggest+ 名词/代词或suggest+名词/代词to+人，
但不能说suggest sb sth ,即不能加双宾做宾语
eg: We suggest him the plan (Χ)
We suggest the plan to him(√)
2)suggest+doing sth
e.g. (1)I suggested going home.
(2)The coach suggested having another match.
注意：suggest 不可以加不定式，所以上面的句子不可以这样写：
He suggested to go out for a walk.(Χ)
3)suggest +(that )+主语+(should) do+sth 其中的should 可以省略.(从句用虚拟语气)
eg: He suggested that you should go there tomorrow.
=He suggested you go there tomorrow.
注意，不可以这样说：He suggested you to go there tomorrow.也就是说suggest不可以加不定式的复合结构。
4)it is suggested that +主语+(should )do sth
e.g.: It is suggested that the work (should) be finished at once.
注意：suggestion做主语时，其后的表语从句也用这个结构即：
The suggestion is that +主语+should +do sth
eg: His suggestion is that I should leave for Beijing immediately.
5)suggest表示“提出(某种看法)”、“暗示”“表明”时，从句用真实(也就是陈述)语气。课文中的句子里的suggest就是作“提出(某种看法)”解释，因此用的是陈述语气，而不是虚拟语气。
e.g. His silence suggested that he agreed with my decision.
他的沉默暗示他同意我的决定。
suggest的用法及使用错点
错点一 误用不定式作宾语
要表示汉语的“建议做某事”，英语通常用 suggest doing sth，而不能用 suggest to do sth。如：
他建议坐飞机去，可我认为这样花费太大。
正：He suggested going by plane, but I thought it would cost too much.
误：He suggested to go by plane, but I thought it would cost too much.
汤姆建议把房子卖了，但是安表示反对。
正：Tom suggested selling the house but Ann was against it.
正：Tom suggested to sell the house but Ann was against it.
错点二 误接不定式的'复合结构作宾语
汉语通常说“建议某人做某事”，但英语习惯上不能说 suggest sb to do sth，而说suggest sb’s [sb]doing sth。也就是说，suggest 后不仅不接不定式，而且也不接不定式的复合结构。如：
他建议我们早点动身。
正：He suggested that we leave earlier.
误：He suggested us to leave earlier.
当然，我们也可以用后接 that 从句的形式来表达此意思(注意谓语用 “should+动词原形”这样的虚拟语气形式)。如：
I suggest that we (should) have lunch right now. 我建议我们现在就吃午饭。
He suggests that we should all go to see the film. 他建议我们都去看电影。
比较以下同义表达：
他建议他们在没有听到事实真相之前什么都别说。
正：He suggested (should) not saying anything till they heard the facts.
正：He suggested saying nothing about it till they heard the facts.
正：He suggested that they shouldn’t say anything till they heard the facts.
错点三 混用其后宾语从句的语气
suggest后接宾语从句时，从谓语既可用陈述语气，也可用虚拟语气，其区别与 suggest所表示的意思有关：
1.若suggest 表示“建议”，则其后接的 that 从句谓语通常用“(should)+动词原形”这样的虚拟语气形式。如：
I suggested that she should go home. 我建议她回家去。
She suggested that I (should) be the leader. 她提议由我来做领导人。
2.若suggest 表示“暗示”“意指”“表明”等义，则其后接的that 从句要用陈述语气。如：
What he said suggested that he was a cheat. 他说的话表明他是个骗子。
Are you suggesting that I’m not suited for the job? 你的意思是说我不适合做这工作?
错点四 其后误接双宾语
要表示向某人提出某情况，suggest后不能接双宾语，即不能用suggest sb sth，而通常用 suggest sth to sb。如：
我向她提出一个解决问题的办法。
正：I suggested a way out to her.
误：I suggested her a way out.
若其中的直接宾语比较复杂(比如是that 从句)时，可考虑改用 suggest to sb sth。如：
我向他建议我们应该用另一种方式处理这个问题。
正：I suggested to him that we should tackle the problem another way.
误：I suggested him that we should tackle the problem another way.
错点五 忽略相关派生名词的相关用法
按英语习惯，suggest的派生名词suggestion也具有与其词根动词相似的用法，如当suggestion表示“建议”时，若其后接一个that引导的宾语从句，则该从句也习惯上要用“should+动词原形”这样的虚拟语气。如：
The suggestion that shops should open on Sundays led to a heated discussion. 关于商店星期日也应该营业的提议，引起了激烈的争论。
There was a suggestion that Brown should be dropped from the team. 有一项建议是布朗应该离队。
