suggest意为“建议,暗示”,后面可以接
①名词、代词或动名词,suggest sth./doing sth,如:She wrote to me and suggested putting off the meeting.(她写信给我,建议延迟会议的举行。)
②that引导的宾语从句。从句要用虚拟语气,其基本构成为“(should+)动词原型”,如:He suggested that we should add some sand to the soil.(他建议我们应该在土里加些沙子。)当suggest作“暗示,表明”解时,后面的从句是正常语气,根据具体情况确定动词的时态。如:The evidence suggests that single fathers are more likely to work than single mothers.(研究表明,单亲父亲比单亲母亲更有可能去工作。)
③ suggest的名词suggetion后的同位语从句,形容词suggestive后的从句及suggest作动词都有相同的用法。
