SUGGESTION AND OFFERING

SUGGESTION AND OFFERING

Hello everyone. I will explain to all readers about asking & giving suggestion and offering to do something.

DEFINITION:

Asking suggestion is a way for someone to ask for device in english when they have a problem.

there are many expressions that can be used to ask for suggestion. one way to do this is to use the word "shall", which means next.

shall I / We + verb 1

examples :

 

shall we go home early?

shall i apologize to her?

shall i get a new job?

what shall i say to my parents?

in addition to the example of answering above using the word "shall", another example of answering to ask for suggestion is :

should i go to the clinic?

what should i do?

do you have any suggestion?

what do you recommend?

do you have any idea?

 

giving suggestion is a way for someone to give advice to others by using english.

one way to give suggestion is to use expressions like :

you should + verb 1

examples :

you should see the doctor

you should finis your job immediately

ACCEPTING A SUGGESTION

when we agree and accept advice given by someone we can say :

 

sounds great

sounds good to me

that's a good idea

let's do that

i'm up for it

DECLINING A SUGGESTION

when we disagree and think the advice given is not good enough, we can say :

maybe some other time

i don't think it's good idea

i'm not sure about that.

GIVING OFFER

some examples of expressions giving offers that we can use are as follows :

would you like + noun / infinitive

examples :

would you like a glass of orange juice?

would you like to go to the cinema with me?

example provides another offer:

can / may i help you?

what can i do for you?

may i give you a ride?

do you want more coffee?

ACCEPTING AN OFFER

If we want to accept someone's offer we can say :

yes, i'd love to

sure, thank you

yes please, thank you

that's very kind of you

that would be very nice

DECLINING AN OFFER

when we reject an offer, someone refuses us gently and politely. for example we can say:

 

thank you for your kindness, but i can handle it

i'm sorry i can't

thank you, but i'm not hungry/thirsty

no, but thank you fo the offer.

that is the explanation about asking & giving suggestion and offering to do something.

next, i want to give example about suggestion.
