what I suggest is to

[ademoglu]

Hi,

- What I suggest is leaving right now.
- What I suggest is to leave right now.
- What I suggest is leave right now.

The first one sounds OK to me but I am not sure of the rest. Are they OK?

Thanks.

The "right now" makes it stronger than a suggestion. Perhaps:

I suggest that you leave and do it now.

Or:

You need to leave. Right now!

The immediacy aspect of it makes it stronger than a suggestion in any case.

They're OK.

Ademoglu, all your examples can work. And you're right, the first is the best. But they're all too wordy to be natural.

I'd probably say something more like "I suggest we leave now." (Or "I suggest you leave now.")

To make it more urgent, I'd say something like "Let's go. Right now." (Or "Go. Right now.")

Most urgent would be something like "Let's get out of here!" (Or "Get out of here!")
