20 ways to give advice in English
Do you only rely onshould and have to when giving advice or making suggestions in English? If you’re ready to add variety to your vocabulary and your English conversations, this is exactly the video for you. Not only do I cover the basics such as should, ought to, had better, and others, but I also teach informal ways to give advice such as “You’re gonna wanna,” “Have you thought about,” “You might wanna consider,” and many more. This is a great lesson for advanced English learners who want to sound fluent and natural when speaking English.

Hi Alex. I almost did 100% of the quiz. I missed the first two. Can you please tell me why the next two sentences is wrong??
1st) You’re gonna wanna start save money.
2nd) You should probably consider go to bed earlier.
I think that, in the first, it miss the ‘to’ after start and also miss the ‘to’ after consider in the second sentence.
Am I right?
Thank you very much.
You’re right about the first one, but keep thinking about the second one!
Ok. I got it, I guess. The ‘consider’ in the sentence have the meaning of ‘think about’. So we MUST use gerund. The right sentence is:
You should probably consider going to bed earlier.
It always happen when the ‘consider’ is equal to ‘think about’.
Am I right?

Alex,
Many many thanks for the extraordinary video.
One question, if you allow me to do so:
a week ago I’ve heard about subjunctive mood use. In the examples you gave in the video (formal verbs “suggest” and “recommend”), can we consider them to be subjunctive mood?
Furthermore, any video on EngVid regarding this subject that you would recommend?
Thanks for your very kind assistance on this matter.
My kindest regards.
Hi! thanks for the video Alex
I have a question if it doesn’t bother. Which one of the following sentences would be correct?
-If I were you, I would retrace YOUR steps
-If I were you, I would retrace MY steps
(for the example of the person that lost his/her wallet)
Thanks again!
