Expert writing Tips
Best practice
When aiming to suggest something, ensure grammatical accuracy. Instead of "is suggested of", opt for "it is suggested that" followed by a complete clause. Alternatively, rephrase to use "suggests" directly with a subject.
Common error
A common mistake is using the preposition "of" after "suggested" when a clause is intended. This often leads to grammatically incorrect sentences. Always double-check if "that" should follow "suggested" to introduce a proper clause.
