I still don't understard how the word "suggest" and other similar words are used in English . For instance , can i say i suggest you to stay at home? or should i say "i suggest that you stay at home".
Thanks in advance.

'Suggest' is not followed by object + infinitive, but by 'that' and '-ing' clauses: I suggest (that) you stay home. He suggested (that) I should stay home. I suggest staying at home.
