Pro Tip 1/3
Making Suggestions
When you have an idea, 'suggest' introduces it politely. I suggest meeting earlier to avoid traffic.
Pro Tip 2/3
Indirect proposals
'Suggest' is less direct than 'tell' or 'ask', so it's often seen as more courteous. I suggest we take a break now.
Pro Tip 3/3
Possibility Introduction
Use 'suggest' to offer options without insisting on them. May I suggest an alternative route?
