| 32.4 Proposte e consigli |
In italiano come in inglese si può fare una proposta o dare un consiglio in forma di domanda. Se si usa il congiuntivo o una frase negativa (non devi andare...) il risultato è ancora più gentile. La tavola qui sotto mostra alcuni verbi che possono servire per fare delle proposte o dare dei consigli.
| verbo | forma | affermazione |
| must | affermazione | You must come and visit us in our new home. You simply must think of others, too. |
| shall | domanda | Shall we get you some help? Shall we have a party for your birthday? |
| should | domanda affermazione |

| would | domanda affermazione |
