Summary

Can you recommend a good restaurant? I suggest taking the train instead. My doctor recommended drinking less coffee. My friend suggested that I try yoga. Recommend and suggest. These two words seem pretty similar, right? They both mean giving advice or giving an idea. But sometimes, when you try to use them, things can get confusing. Should you say, “I recommended him to try it”? Or, “She suggested me to go”? Yeah… those don’t sound quite right. So today, we’re going to look at how you can actually use recommend and suggest in everyday English - naturally.
