"Suggest"を使って
Suggestには三つの使い方があり、意味合いは同じか、よく似たものです。この構文は少し複雑ですので、詳細に気をつけてください。その動名詞が文章の主語を指していない場合、Suggest のすぐ後に、動名詞や a 所有形容詞 + 動名詞 を置くことが出来ます。
例
- He suggested going to Glastonbury.
- He suggested my going to Glastonbury.
- I suggested visiting your grandmother.
- I suggested your visiting your grandmother.
Suggest の後に、 that + 主語 + should + 動詞の文節を置くことができますが、この文節のthat と shouldは省略できる場合があり、suggestのすぐ後に主語が残ります。
例
- He suggests that I should go to New York.
- He suggests that I go to New York.
- He suggests I should go to New York.
- He suggests I go to New York.
意味が明確な場合は、Suggest の後に名詞が来る場合があります。
例

最後に、suggestの後に疑問詞 + 不定詞が来る場合もあります。
