We have already told you about. Today we invite you to remember a few more sentence structures with which you can easily formulate necessary and valuable advice so that it looks unobtrusive and polite.

We use a modal verb

Google shortcode

There are two modal verbs with which we usually give advice to others - these are " should" And " ought (to)" Both mean the same thing, but when constructing a sentence, pay attention to the fact that should is followed by a verb without ‘to’, and in the case of ought this particle is simply necessary.

• You shouldn't eat so much. – You shouldn’t eat so much.
• You should help your parents now when they are old and unhealthy. – you need to help your parents now, when they are old and sick.
• You ought to think before you speak. – you need to think before you speak.
• You ought not to care so much for your children – they are teenagers and can do everything themselves. - You shouldn’t take care of your children like that - they are already teenagers and can do everything themselves.

Frame your advice as a question

To make the advice sound less intrusive, give it the form of a question and the interrogative construction ‘ is ideal for this Why don't you...?' or ' How about…?’. But remember that when choosing the first construction, we must use an infinitive without “to” after it, and if the second, it must be followed by a gerund (a verb ending in –ing).

• Why don’t you make friends with your neighbor girl? I think she is nice and pleasant. – Why don’t you make friends with the girl next door? I think she is sweet and pleasant.
• How about trying to find some other way to resolve this problem? – how about trying to find another way to solve this problem?

Put yourself in someone else's shoes

If someone asks for your advice, it can sometimes be helpful to mentally put yourself in their shoes. It's also a good way to explain your advice.

• If I were you, I would take this chance. – If I were you, I would take this chance.

Remember that after would and wouldn’t the infinitive is used without ‘to’.

Make a guess

Making a guess or recommendation is another great way to give advice in a non-intrusive way. You can use the words ‘ suggest' or ' recommend’ combined with the irreplaceable would. Notice that they are followed by a verb ending in -ing.

• I would (not) suggest drinking more water. – I would (not) advise drinking more water.
• I would (not) recommend eating green vegetables. – I would (not) recommend eating green vegetables.

Make your advice stronger

Sometimes you need advice to sound convincing and categorical so that the person to whom it is intended understands that it is really important. And for this we need the expression ‘ you had better (not) ...’ which is necessarily followed by an infinitive without ‘to’:

• You had better consult a doctor before taking this medicine. – It is better to consult your doctor before buying this medicine.
• You had better not eat so much in the evening. – You shouldn’t eat so much in the evenings.

(Read more about the “you had better” construction

We all need useful advice sometimes. In the English language there are several words and structures that we use to give advice to another person.

In this article we will look at 4 basic constructions and learn how to give advice in English.

The verb should is translated as “should/should”. When we say should, the action does not require mandatory execution. It's more of a recommendation on what to do.

We use it when we give advice to someone or ask for advice.

For example: You should start running in the morning.

To say that someone should do something, we simply put should after the actor. The education scheme will be as follows:

The one in question + should + action

I
You
We		dance
They	should	write
She		cook
He
It

For example:

You should look this word up in a dictionary.
You should look this word up in the dictionary.

They should stay at home today.
They should stay home today.

The verb must is translated as “must/obliged.” We use Must when we give persistent advice. Especially when we think that this is a great idea and will bring pleasure or benefit to the person you are advising.

For example: You must go to this lecture.

The verb must is independent and does not require auxiliary verbs. Therefore, when we say that someone should do something, the sentence formation scheme will be as follows:

The one in question + must + action

I
You
We		dance
They	must	write
She		cook
He
It

I must get this work finished by next Tuesday.
I must finish this work by next Tuesday.

You must work hard, if you want to succeed.
You have to work hard if you want to succeed.

The verb ought to is translated as “should/must.” The meaning of this verb is very similar to the verb should.

We use it when we say that someone should do something or something should happen because it is morally right or just. This is especially true for situations of relationships between people.

For example: You should meet him and talk.

The verb ought to is independent and therefore does not require auxiliary verbs. As you have already noticed, ought is required in combination with the particle to. When we want to make a statement, the sentence diagram will be as follows:

The one in question + ought to + action

I
You
We		dance
They	ought to	write
She		cook
He
It

You ought to call her.
You should call her.

He ought to set an example for the others.
He should become an example for others.

The expression had better is translated as “better.” It is also similar in meaning to should, and we can often replace them in a sentence. Most often we use had better when we talk about a specific situation.

Should: You should switch off your computer before leaving.
You should turn off your computer before leaving.

Had better: You had better switch off your computer, it overheated.
You better turn off your computer, it's overheating.

We use had better in the following situations:

1. When we give advice to someone, that is, we say that they should act in some way or should do something

For example: You better call her later.

2. When we threaten someone or warn that there will be trouble if the person does not do something

For example: You better come home on time.

To construct a sentence, you just need to put the required action (in the initial form) after the expression had better.

The formation scheme for an affirmative sentence will be as follows:

The one in question + had better + action

Use this table to write affirmative sentences.

You had better go home now.
You better go home now.

So, we have looked at 5 designs, and now let's practice using them.
