To suggest - a big list of it patterns

Hi! I'm compiling a list of the use of the verb 'suggest' in the meaning 'to tell someone your ideas about what they should do, where they should go etc [? propose]: source: http://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/suggest'


I would like you to check if the setences in my list are correct.


If you would make an attempt to chceck the list, go by these rules, please:

- do not change the structure of the list

- do not remove any item that does not occur in your variety of English, in common speech, written language, etc.

* means that the pattern is incorrect
