Hello everyone, My name is Frizt Reynara. I will explains about asking & giving suggestions and offering to do something.

 

Asking suggestion is a way for someone to ask for device in english when they have a problem.

for example :

• I have a problem. I need your advice.
• What do you suggest?
• Do you have any suggestions?
• What should I do?
• If you were me, what would you do?
• What’s your advice?
• Please tell me what to do.
• What tought I to do?

Giving Suggestion is a way for someone to give advice to others by using english.

for example :

• I would like to suggest you that …
• It’s better for you to …

• That’s the best one, I’ll try that.

Refusing the suggestion :

• I’m afraid I can’t.
• Could you give me another way?
• I think it can’t solve my problem.
