suggest

Suggest can be used in a number of ways, but BE CAREFUL.

It is important not to confuse these patterns:
suggest/suggested (+ possessive adjective) + gerund:
He suggests going to Glastonbury
He suggested going to Glastonbury
He suggested/suggests my going toGlastonbury

suggest/suggested + that-clause (where both that and should may be omitted):
He suggests that I should go to Glastonbury
He suggested that I should go to Glastonbury
He suggested/suggests I should go to Glastonbury
He suggested/suggests I go to Glastonbury
He suggested I went to Glastonbury

suggest/suggested + question word + infinitive:
He suggested where to go.
