    Hi Annemarie! Studying English is something that entertains me TO NO END, and you are part of this journey of mine. (The idiom that I highlighted I learned from you today)
    And, wow, these questions above are quite difficult!
    N. 1 Recommend (as a Lawyer, he has experience dealing with contracts and with the consequences of signing without reading before)
    N 2. Recommend (you said it's magical, therefore you know what you're talking about)
    N 3. Suggest (she thinks it's good because of the price, not because she tried it. Though recommend can be used interchangebly, I believe)
    N.4 Suggest (we got a lot of options, not based on everbody's experience)
    Did I ace it?
    Thank you for the lesson!!
    Ps:I saw the answers above. No, I didn't ace it. 😒 I still have the feeling that all of them can be used interchangebly as it is in portuguese. But, it's o.k.

    • @Speakconfidentenglish
      @Speakconfidentenglish  2 года назад +4

      Thiago, thanks so much for sharing such thoughtful answers and I'm very happy to be part of your English journey!!
      You are not alone in thinking that "recommend" is the right answer for number 1. There is definitely an argument to be made that because the lawyer has experience, we would use recommend. And this is where English gets so tricky!! It really is a fluid language with these little nuances.
      There is nothing wrong with using "recommend" in the sentence, particularly if we want to highlight that the lawyer is staying this because of his/her previous experience. I can certainly imagine a lawyer saying, "Look, I've been in this situation with clients many times. And based on my experience, I recommend that..."
      It's all about the subtle nuance we want to bring to the sentence.
      I hope this is helpful. 😊

    Hi Annemarie, thank you for your excellent videos. I have a question regarding one of the example sentences you used in this video - I suggest that everyone uses their vacation days before the end of the year... I looked up the Gregg Reference manual (page 277) and the example it uses is "I suggested that she type the material triple-spaced to allow room for some very heavy editing. (NOT: types.) Could you please clarify what verb present tense is correct for the third-person singular following Suggest and Recommend? Thank you!

    • @Speakconfidentenglish
      @Speakconfidentenglish  2 года назад +3

      Thanks for the question. It's a very good one.
      Another viewer asked a similar question and I provided this answer:
      We certainly COULD use "I recommend that everyone use ..." and in doing so, we would use the present subjunctive form.
      In my sentence, "I recommend that everyone uses...," I'm using the present indicative form.
      The indicative and subjunctive are 2 of the 3 moods we have in English.
      The indicative mood is used when we want to state a fact whereas the subjunctive mood is used for wishes, proposals, and (yes) suggestions.
      On top of that, we have register. Register is how formal or informal one's language (written or spoken) is. In English, the subjunctive mood is considered more formal so it may be used less often in spoken form.
      You are definitely correct in saying that "when we use this structure, no matter what the subject is, we do not add s, es or ies to the verb. It should be, "I recommend that everyone use....." This is exactly right for the subjunctive mood and it is certainly what I would use when speaking formally.
      But you'll also see/hear the example as I've shared it.
      I hope this is helpful.

      Hi Rohit, thank you so much for this very perceptive and thoughtful question. This definitely takes us into some challenging, advanced-level grammar. And truthfully, you can and will hear both.
      We certainly COULD use "I recommend that everyone *use* ..." and in doing so, we would use the *present subjunctive* form.
      In my sentence, "I recommend that everyone uses...," I'm using the *present indicative* form.
      The *indicative* and *subjunctive* are 2 of the 3 *moods* we have in English.
      The indicative mood is used when we want to state a fact whereas the subjunctive mood is used for wishes, proposals, and (yes) suggestions.
      On top of that, we have register. Register is how formal or informal one's language (written or spoken) is. In English, the subjunctive mood is considered more formal so it may be used less often in spoken form.

      Also, I recommend that you don't see it as right/wrong but rather when you choose to use one word or the others, what is the nuance being communicated?
      For example, when we use recommend, we're indicating personal investment, personal interest, and/or personal experience. And when we use suggestions, it's an option.
      There isn't a big difference but rather these are shades of meaning.

    In the subjunctive form, the verb doesn’t change. Don’t add -s or change the verb after the subjects he, she, or it. The verb says in the base form of the verb. The base form, or the bare infinitive, is the simplest form of a verb. It’s the way that you find a verb in the dictionary.
    Her brother suggests that she study harder.
    NOT: Her brother suggests that she STUDIES harder.
