suggest 是个及物动词，后面可以跟名词、代词、动词 -ing 形式或从句作它的宾语。各种试题对 suggest的考查通常涉及到它的非谓语动词形式、宾语从句及宾语从句的虚拟语气等方面。下面就结合历年高考试题，对suggest 的用法作一小结,希望能对大家有帮助。

Suggest 最详细的用法大全

考点一、suggest 作“表明、说明、暗示、指出”解，而且后面跟 that 从句作宾语时，宾语从句中的谓语动词用陈述语气。例如：

① He often came to the theater， but his attitude suggested he was not really interested in the play.

② Jane's pale face suggested that she was ill， and her parents suggested that she have a medical examination.

例②中第一个 suggested 作“表明、说明”解，所以其后的宾语从句的谓语动词用陈述语气;第二个suggested 的意思是“建议”，所以其后的宾语从句的谓语动词用虚拟语气，其中的 should 被省略了。

考点二、 suggest 作“建议”解，而且后面跟 that 从句作宾语时，宾语从句中的谓语动词用虚拟语气，即谓语动词用“( should )动词原形”。例如：

① Almost all his friends suggested that he visit Mr. Johnson at once.

② —— The experiment has failed!

---- I suggest you try again.

考点三、suggest 作“间接表明;建议;使想起”解时，后面可以跟名词、代词或动词 -ing 形式作宾语。例如：

① That girl's sun-tanned face suggests excellent health. 那个姑娘被太阳晒黑了的脸表明她身体非常健康。

② Mr. Smith suggested a way out of the difficulty. 史密斯先生提出了一个克服困难的办法。

③ An explanation suddenly suggested itself to me. 一种解释突然出现在我的脑海里。

④ I have written him a letter and suggested his sending it to the Ministry of Culture. 我给他写了一封信，并建议他把它寄给文化部。

suggest 后面可以跟“ to sb to do sth ”结构。其中的介词 to 不能省略。动词不定式短语 to do sth作宾语补足语。例如：

⑤ Who suggested to you to do it this way? 谁提出要你这样做的?

考点四、在下列含 suggest 的句式中，如果 suggest 表示“建议”时，其后的宾语从句的谓语动词仍然用虚拟语气。

句式一、 It's suggested that…… (有人建议……)例如：

① It's suggested that we ( should ) put on a short play at the party. 有人建议我们在晚会上演一个短剧。

② It has been suggested that Robert should go to Chicago and try to find a job there. 有人建议罗伯特到芝加哥去，设法在那里找个工作。

句式二、 What ( All that ) sb. suggests is that…… (某人建议的是……)例如：

① What I suggest is that we visit a class right away. 我的建议是我们马上去听课。

② What she suggested was that the clinic should make better use of those herbs. 她建议医疗站更好地利用那些草药。

考点五、名词 suggestion 的用法。

suggestion 作“建议”解，后面跟同位语从句时，以及 suggestion 用作主语，后面跟表语从句时，从句中的谓语动词均用虚拟语气。例如：

① My suggestion is that the work should be started at once. 我的建议是立即动工。

② The monitor's suggestion that she should come another day has not been accepted. 班长提出的她改天来的建议还是没有被接受。
