"I suggested her" or "I suggested to her" grammar?

Question

Hello.

I am wondering which is correct grammatically:

I suggested her to take a picture.

I suggested to her to take a picture.

Thank you.

(Could you also tell me what is the difference?)

Happy New Year!

Answer 1

It would be suggested to, if you have to use one of those two. I wouldn't say either one. I'd say "I suggested to her that she take a picture."



If you want to be clear exactly who you're suggesting something to, you use to before whatever word identifies that person or people.

I suggested to her that she look at this. You say it like that with any noun: to him, to you, to everyone, to all my classmates, to Peter, to the authorities, to those who want dinner now, and so on.



If you are suggesting without identifying exactly who you're suggesting to, you say I suggest that we go home now. I suggest that the meeting be ended. I suggest that it's time for lunch.

Answer 2

To the best of my knowledge your second option is correct.



"I suggested to her to take a picture."



This would be the best since it’s more fluent than your first option, and actually makes sense grammatically. If you are to say, "I suggested her to take a picture" then it’s choppy and sounds bad. In my opinion at least, it sounds like you're changing the subject from one thing to another midway. Your second option clearly states that You (I), made a suggestion to another person (her) to take a picture. In the second option you are passing the subject along from one thing to another smoothly. Option one just doesn't sound right, it’s not only choppy but seems amateur (to me at least).



Personally, I wouldn't use either of those. Instead I'd use, "I made a suggestion to her to take a picture", "The suggestion was made by myself, for her to take a picture", or possibly "It was my suggestion to her, to take a picture". And you might wish to swap out "picture" with "photo" (if you want). It would be whichever you prefer.



That's just my opinion on it.



Happy New Year as well!

Answer 3

I suggested her to take the picture means that you gave somebody her name to photograph the picture. You are making a suggestion for employment of someone you know. Still, very awkward.............



I suggested her for the position.



I suggested her for the job.



I suggested her because she is an excellent photographer.

Answer 4

I think it would be "I suggested to her to take a picture." because when you say that you are saying that you asked her to take a picture when you say "I suggested her to take a picture." you are basically saying I want her to take a picture or she would be best to take the picture. In the future try and break it down in your head slowly, and think of the pieces of the sentence to find the proper grammar.

P.S. I know I used bad grammar while answering but this is an informal place

Answer 5

"I suggested to her to take a picture."



This is grammatically correct because you need need a preposition to link the verb and noun. If you have trouble with prepositions, my 7th grade taught us that "A preposition is a mouse and a house!" Meaning, the mouse ran TO the house or the mouse ran FROM the house. (Okay, it may seem weird, but it works.)

Answer 6

Neither sounds good. But..



I suggested to her to take a picture...seems correct. Sounds awkward though.



I suggested she take a picture...That sounds best.

Perhaps yes. Perhaps no. As a writer, I have learned that we have to be careful when we argue semantics, esp. since the same word can mean different things to different people. This is because words bear meaning only in context, and meaning can change from person to person, and situation to situation. For one person, "my girlfriend," may connote possessiveness or objectification. For another person, "my girlfriend" can connote a sense of love, togetherness, or belonging together (in this moment or season)--not ownership. No one owns anyone, and people are not our personal playthings, no matter what we say or what words we use. And our relationships to/with one another do not define us. On the flip side of the coin, I have seen that the vast majority of people who object to these terms usu. have serious commitment issues. In other words, they object to being called "my boyfriend," "my husband" or "my wife" because of the baggage or associations they have attached to these terms and do not wish to be held to any relationship agreements. So, their rejection of these terms is really a matter of claiming their right to be, shall we say, "fluid," distant, and unattached. I used to flinch, for ex., when my soon-to-be ex-husband would plaintively call me "my wife" in the last year of our marriage. I perceived this as a attempt to manipulate me and claim ownership because in my heart I knew our days as a married couple were numbered. Charlotte Kasl, in her book If the Buddha Married, writes that married couples should be careful not to say "my husband" or "my wife"--that it is better to call each person by name. I tend to agree. There is nothing like hearing the sound of my name coming from the mouth and voice of a lover or loved one. At the same time, if the tone is not one of possessiveness, objectification, or manipulation, I do not object to a loved one referring to me as "my friend," "my sister goddess" (Thanks Rhonda), "my compa" (as in Starhawk's The Fifth Sacred Thing), or "my woman." It all depends on the intention and the tone.
