在常年的教学中,发现该词经常被用错,错误的根源是分不清虚拟与非虚拟。了解该词的基本含义,是正确使用的最关键的一步。这一点要与动词insist对应起来。常见句型:
(1)suggest that表示“建议做某事”,宾语从句的谓语动词用虚拟语气。
(2)suggest表示“暗示”、“使……想起”这样的含义,应该用陈述语气。
(3)suggest doing
例如:
They suggested that we should visit a class right away. 他们建议我们马上去听课。(从句虚拟。)
The doctor suggested he go for a holiday. 医生建议他度假休息。(should go也正确。)(从句虚拟。)
Her expression suggested that she was angry. 她的表情说明她生气了。(she was是直接陈述的语气。)
The mistakes in your exercise books suggest that you have not paid enough attention to grammar. 你练习本上的错误说明,你对语法注意不够。(you have not是直接陈述语气。)
I suggest trying it once more. 我建议再试一次。
这三个句型都是必须掌握的。
