2) 都可接動名詞作賓語

They suggested / advised / proposed waiting until the proper time. 他們建議(我們)等到恰當的時機才行動.
3) 都可接that 賓語從句,that從句用should+動詞原形,should可以省略.
She suggested / advised / proposed that the class meeting (should) not be held on Saturday. 她建議班會不要在星期六舉行.
We suggested / advised / proposed that he (should) go and make an apology to his teacher. 我們建議他去向老師道歉.

I advised him to give up the foolish idea. = I suggested / proposed his / him giving up the foolish idea. 我建議他放棄那愚蠢的念頭.(suggest和propose在口語裏可接動名詞的復合賓語).
We proposed to start early. = We proposed starting early. 我們建議早壹點出發.(接不定式不用suggest和advise)
二、 表示提出的意思.:
He suggested a different plan to his boss. 他向老板提出了壹個不同的計劃.
Xiao Wang suggested a way to solve the problem. 小王提出了壹個解決這個問題的辦法.
三、 表示暗示、表明的意思.其主語往往是事物,而不是人.
1)接名詞或動名詞作賓語.
The simple house suggested a modest income. 這座簡樸的房子表明(房主的)收入並不高.
Her pale face suggested bad health. 她臉色蒼白,看來身體不好.
The thought of summer suggests swimming. 壹想到夏天就使人們聯想到遊泳.
2)接賓語從句,從句用陳述語氣.如:
The decision suggested that he might bring his family. 這個決定表明他可以把家屬帶來.
The expression on his face suggested that he was very angry. 他臉上的表情表明他很生氣.
四、 在主語從句It is suggested that... 及名詞suggestion 後面表示“具體建議”的表語從句、同位語從句都應用should+動詞原形,should可以省略.如:
It was suggested that we (should) give a performance at the party. 人們建議我們在晚會上表演節目.
His suggestion was that the debts (should) be paid off first. 他的建議是先把債務還清.
The doctors made a suggestion that the new hospital (should) not be set up on the hill. 醫生們建議不要把新醫院建在山上. 1）他建議去散散步。
誤 He suggested to go for a walk.
正 He suggested going for a walk.
正 He suggested that we (should) go for a walk.
析 suggest後不能接動詞不定式或“賓語+動詞不定式”結構。在表示“建議某人做某事”時,可接動名詞或接that從句來表示,從句中的謂語多用should加動詞原形構成, should可省略。
2）她打哈欠表示她很困了。
誤 Her yawn suggests that she should be sleepy.
正 Her yawn suggests that she is sleepy.
析 suggest作“暗示,表明”解後接that從句時,從句中壹般不用虛擬語氣。
3）建議性感，但是不能太過招搖。
誤suggest at sexiness but don't flaunt it.
正suggestsexiness but don't flaunt it.
分析：suggest是及物動詞，後面可直接跟賓語，不需要不介詞at。
