suggest sb to do还是doing（suggest的常见正误辨析）

错点一误用不定式作宾语

要表示汉语的“建议、提议做某事”，英语通常用 suggest doing sth，而不能用 suggest to do sth 。但是，propose可接不定式做宾语如：
I suggested going in my car.
我提议坐我的车去。
They suggested waiting for the proper time to go fishing. 他们建议等到合适的时机再去钓鱼。
I suggest bringing the meeting to an end.我建议结束会议。
I suggest postponing the sports meet.我建议推迟举行运动会。
So instead I suggested taking her out to dinner for a change.
于是我又提议，带她出去吃饭换换口味。

(suggest和propose在口语里可接动名词的复合宾语) 。
We proposed to start early. =We proposed starting early.我们建议早一点出发。(接不定式不用suggest和advise)

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。注意 suggest 后通常不能直接跟指人的名词或代词，一般要在这类名词或代词之前加介词 to 。
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。
He suggested that I （should）stick to my decision.他建议我坚持自己的决定。

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所表示的含义有关：

1. 若suggest 表示“建议、提议”，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 suggest you ask him some specific questions about his past

我建议你问他一些有关他的过去的具体问题。
