Let's learn and talk about feelings, emotions and suggestions.
Don't forget to study the new vocabulary.
Good Advice: advice and suggestions |
Giving advice and making suggestions are two different language functions
MUST/HAVE TO [strong advice]
You must go to the doctor immediately, that looks serious.
You have to take her to that movie, she’s going to love it.
YOU’D BETTER (not) + bare infinitive (colloquial often: YOU BETTER...)
You’d better not call her now, she must be too angry with you
You better come to my house and ask my father
| You can use these to give advice to a friend: SHOULD You should go to the doctor, he’ll tell you what to do You shouldn’t go to bed so late, you need more sleep WHY DON’T YOU I know it’s difficult to find, but why don’t you look on the Internet? Why don’t you wait here for a moment, I’m sure she will be back very soon HOW ABOUT + ING (or YOU + bare infinitive) You look bored. How about going for a walk? We could go to the river. How about you stay here and I go and look for help? |
