1 is anomalous. I think you mean

You are the last person that anyone would suspect.

2 is better, though I would omit 'ever

Hi CJ,

"You are the last person that anyone would suspect."

Could you please explain what this sentence mean above?


"You are the last person who should give advice about happiness."

I don't understand why it means 'who should give... rather than 'who would give...here. Can it mean 'who would give....?

Thanks.

Hi, CJ

1. "You are the last person to suspect".

Can I say "You are the last person to be suspected" to mean the same thing as above?


2. "You are the last person to give anyone advice about happiness."

Can this also mean "You are the last person who would be likely to give anyone advice about happiness" or "You are the last person who is likely to give anyone advi
