          Suggestions
           To make a suggestion, we use the modal ‘should’.

             You should see a doctor if you don’t feel OK.
           ◽
           We can also use “need to” if we want to use stronger language.

             He needs to wear some thick clothes for the chilly weather of the mountains.
           ◽
           We can also use “could” to make suggestions. “Could” is much softer and more indirect than “should”.

             You could apologise to your friend if the situation makes you upset.
           ◽
           We can also use some questions to make a suggestion or recommendation in an indirect way.

             Why don’t / doesn’t + subject + verb...?
             How about + gerund / noun...?
             Why don’t you give it a try and decide if you accept it or not?
           ◽
             How about checking the right answer to see who is right?
           ◽
           We also use some sentence patterns to make suggestions.

             I suggest / recommend that + sentence
             I suggest that he practise more before he drives a car.
           ◽
             I suggest / recommend + gerund / noun...
             I recommend trying Mexican food.
           ◽
             Let’s + verb...
