Hello,
I have a question about "Why don't you ~?" questions.
I'm a little confused as to how I could tell a person's question is 1. a suggestion or 2. a Wh- question.
For example, in the following conversation I'm not sure if B's sentence is no. 1 or 2.
A: "I still a have a neck pain."
B: "Why don't you follow Jack's advice?"
Also, if B said "Why do you not follow Jack's advice?", would its meaning differ from the one above?
