[Grammar] suggest someone do something

[Ashiuhto]

Please check the following sentence out.

Mom suggested me take a jakcet to go out to prevent from catching cold.

 

[Richard1]

Hi,

Mum (Br English vs US Eng.) suggested I wear a jacket when going out to stop me catching cold.

Regards

 

[5jj]

Richard1: Mum suggested I wear a jacket when going out to stop me catching cold.
Gillnetter: Mom suggested to me that I take a jacket when I go out to prevent my catching a cold

Both of these are fine, as is:
Mum/Mom suggested (to me) (that) I should take/wear a jacket when ....

 

[vgv8]

Mom suggested to me that I take a jacket when I go out to prevent my catching a cold

Should I write:
"Send us(me)"
or
"Send to us(me)"

"Reply us(me)"
or
"Reply to us(me)"

"Write me"
or
"Write to me"
?

Is "cold" countable?

 

[Barb_D]

Should I write:
"Send us(me)"
or
"Send to us(me)"
It depends on the whole sentence.
Send us your suggestions.
Send your suggestions to us.
Not: Send to us your suggestions.
There's nothing ungrammatical about it, but it's not idiomatic/natural.


"Reply us(me)"
or
"Reply to us(me)"
I don't think I usually use an object at all, but if I did, it would certainly have the "to."

"Write me"
or
"Write to me"

Write me a long letter to tell me all that you've been up to!
She wrote to me about her boyfriend, but wrote to Mom about her studies.
She wrote a long letter to me -- This seems less likely than the following:
She wrote me a long letter
Not: She wrote to me a long letter. Same as above; there's no reason for this not to be grammatical, but we don't say it this way.

Is "cold" countable?

As for cold,
1) Because it's unrelated to your other questions, it would be better to have it in a different thread
2) Do you mean cold=illness or cold=temperature?

I cannot get well the structure as is used above. Would natives explain it?

Does as is=just like here?

Thank you.

 

[Tarheel]

I don't understand the structure as is used above. Would natives explain it?

Does as is=just like here?

.

That's right.

 

[Charlie Bernstein]

Please check the following sentence out.

Mom suggested I take a jacket to go out to prevent (delete: from) catching cold.

It would be less wordy if you deleted "to go out."

Ashiuhto, are you still here?

 

[hhtt21]

But as is is still a mistery for me . How can you explain it through grammatic, such as what the name of it is or what kind of word of speech it belongs to?

Thank you.

 

[hhtt21]

Why do you need a label for it? It is an idiomatic expression with a fairly well established meaning.

Well, the last question for it: Because is is a to be verb in as is, so does as is sometimes turn into as are or even as am?

Thank you

 

[Tdol]

Not for me.

 

[hhtt21]

Not for me.

May I take above as only version is as is and there is nothing as as are and as am in the same usage?

Thank you.

 

[emsr2d2]

In that context, it's the only usable version. However, "as are" and "as am" can be used in different contexts.

Your shoes are blue, as are mine.
You are happy, as am I.

 

[hhtt21]

Your shoes are blue, as are mine.
You are happy, as am I.

I am very confused for myself because is #13 a wrong sentence because you understood and give the answer but Tdol and Piscean have seemed to misunderstood what I wanted to say.

Thank you.

 

[Tdol]

They do not have the same meaning as the phrase in discussion- you can have as + anything, but they're not the same as the expression as is.

Any phrase is useful in some contexts and not others. Also, if you try to throw everything into one sentence that sentence becomes a hash (as that one is).

I just tried to examine and understand the structure as is in that sentence.

Thank you.

 

[GoesStation]

If I remember right, the post had "As is:", followed by a block of quoted text. The poster meant "As is the following," which is a shorter way to say "The following also demonstrates this."

Does that help?

Does that help?

Yes, that helps. But would you explain these two sentences: in the same, (which is) very clear: "Your shoes are blue, as are mine.
You are happy, as am I.", especially their difference from as is in the original post which you have explained in #22?

Thank you.
