Here you can learn how to make suggestions in English.
First read the explanations, then watch the video and see if you can see and understand the suggestions they use.
Then watch the other videos at Links.
- What’s the date today?
- The 12th, why?
- It’s Amy’s birthday on Friday.
- What shall we get her? [get her = buy for her]
- Let’s get her a DVD
- I’m not sure. Has she got a DVD player?
- I don’t know. What about a CD?
- That’s a good idea.
Aquí vas a aprender a hacer sugerencias en inglés. Primero lee las explicaciones, luego mira el vídeo, a ver si localizas las sugerencias que hacen y las entiendes. Luego mira el resto de los vídeos en Links.
Una sugerencia es una idea que lanzamos a un grupo de personas para hacerla juntos, por lo tanto siempre tiene que ver con NOSOTROS. Igual que en español, hay muchas formas de sugerir ideas, pero en inglés hay cuatro que son las más usadas:
- What can we do tonight? = ¿Qué podemos hacer esta noche?
1- Let's go to the cinema! = ¡Vayamos al cine!
2- Why don't we go to the cinema? = ¿Por qué no vamos al cine?
3- What about going to the cinema? / How about going to the cinema?
= ¿Qué tal si vamos al cine? ¿Y si vamos al cine?
4- Shall we go to the cinema? = ¿Qué te parece si vamos al cine?
Respuestas posibles:
- OK, let's go! = De acuerdo, vamos.
- Sure, why not? = claro, ¿por qué no?
- That's a good idea! = ¡una idea estupenda!
- No, I don't think that's a good idea = no, creo que no es buena idea
- Sorry, I don't like going to the cinema = lo siento, no me gusta ir al cine
- Not again! = ¡otra vez no!
- Ok, but let's think about more ideas. = de acuerdo, pero vamos a pensar en algo más.
1- Let's go swimming tomorrow (song)
2- Why don't we go see him?
3- Shall we play a game?
Report mistakesIf a group of people need ideas to do something together, they need suggestions. Remember that a suggestion is an idea to do something together, so a suggestion refers to WE (not I).
There are many different ways to make suggestions in English, but the most common ones are four:
- What can we do tonight?
1- Let's go to the cinema!
2- Why don't we go to the cinema?
3- What about going to the cinema? / How about going to the cinema?
4- Shall we go to the cinema?
Possible answers:
- OK, let's go!
- Yes, of course.
- Sure, why not?
- That's a good idea!
- No, I don't think that's a good idea
- Sorry, I don't like going to the cinema
- Not again!
- Ok, but let's think about more ideas.
What/How about... ? is followed by -ING or by a noun:
- What can we do?
- What about playing football
- No, I don't like football
- What about tennis?
- Yea, I love tennis! Let's play tennis!
Sure = Of course!
