Suggest

Hi, I have question about "suggest"? Can I use the way like that "suggest to verb" or "suggest Ving" and "Could you please help us by Ving + ....." Thank you very much.

Hi,

Greetings!!! its my fist mail in the forum.

Well, you can use both after suggest... here the difference between to put and putting is of gerunds and infinitive..... both of them are correct if they follow suggest as indicated.

No. That's not what GG said.

You can have the gerund: I suggest trying again.
And you can have a that-clause: I suggest that you try again.
And you can have a that-clause with the that left out: I suggest you try again.

But you cannot
