why don't you try....

Hi Philipe,

Welcome to the forums.

You can say those things in the right context. It's often helpful for us to see the entire sentence to let you know if there's a more natural way to say it.

Thank you!
Well there's not a specific sentence. I was just doing a grammar excersise focused on verb+ -ing and to infinitive so I wanted to know if it would be correct to say this. I know there are two negatives in the sentence but anyway...

I dont think iether of those two sentences are grammatically correct. The problem I find with english students or those with english prospects is that they are not concise with how they word their sentences. for example, in your case i wouldnt say:

why dont you try not doing your homework

or even worse

why dont you try not to do your homework

instead, i would sa

ok thanks.
I know that that there are many other and much easier ways of saying that, but i wanted to express... I'll try to explain it.. I'll give you an example: you have a headache I think that's because you're wearing your glasses and it makes your eyes sore and then you have a headache.. so I want to suggest that you put them off. could I say?: Why dont you try not wearing your glass

Philipe, your understanding is perfect.

so it is correct this way?

Yes, your context and that phrasing work just right together.

Thank you
