Giving Suggestions
The following expressions are
usually used when we suggest someone to do something.
I suggest…
Why don’t …
Why not…
How about
Example: Tukul
or Aming
A: Which one is
your favourite comedian, Tukul or Aming?
B: I think I
prefer Tukul to Aming.
C: Why?
A: In my
opinion, he seems to be low-profile and the jokes that he has are original.
Here are some examples of
expressions used in asking for and giving advice.
