Russian-Chuvash dictionary

We all need useful advice sometimes. In the English language there are several words and structures that we use to give advice to another person.

In this article we will look at 4 basic constructions and learn how to give advice in English.

The verb should is translated as “should/should”. When we say should, the action does not require mandatory execution. It's more of a recommendation on what to do.

We use it when we give advice to someone or ask for advice.

For example: You should start running in the morning.

To say that someone should do something, we simply put should after the actor. The education scheme will be as follows:

The one in question + should + action

For example:

You should look this word up in a dictionary.
You should look this word up in the dictionary.

They should stay at home today.
They should stay home today.

Attention: Confused about English rules? Find out in Moscow how easy it is to understand English grammar.

The verb must is translated as “must/obliged.” We use Must when we give persistent advice. Especially when we think that this is a great idea and will bring pleasure or benefit to the person you are advising.

For example: You must go to this lecture.

The verb must is independent and does not require auxiliary verbs. Therefore, when we say that someone should do something, the sentence formation scheme will be as follows:

The one in question + must + action

I must get this work finished by next Tuesday.
I have to finish this work by next Tuesday.

You must work hard, if you want to succeed.
You have to work hard if you want to succeed.

The verb ought to is translated as “should/must.” The meaning of this verb is very similar to the verb should.

We use it when we say that someone should do something or something should happen because it is morally right or just. This is especially true for situations of relationships between people.

For example: You should meet him and talk.

The verb ought to is independent and therefore does not require auxiliary verbs. As you have already noticed, ought is required in combination with the particle to. When we want to make a statement, the sentence structure will be as follows:

The one in question + ought to + action

You ought to call her.
You should call her.

He ought to set an example for the others.
He should become an example for others.

The expression had better is translated as “better.” It is also similar in meaning to should, and we can often replace them in a sentence. Most often we use had better when we talk about a specific situation.

Should: You should switch off your computer before leaving.
You should turn off your computer before leaving.

Had better: You had better switch off your computer, it overheated.
You better turn off your computer, it's overheated.

We use had better in the following situations:

1. When we give advice to someone, that is, we say that they should act in some way or should do something

For example: You better call her later.

2. When we threaten someone or warn that there will be trouble if the person does not do something

For example: You better come home on time.

To construct a sentence, you just need to put the required action (in the initial form) after the expression had better.

The formation scheme for an affirmative sentence will be as follows:

The one in question + had better + action

Use this table to write affirmative sentences.

You had better go home now.
You better go home now.

So, we've looked at 5 designs, now let's practice using them.

We have already told you about. Today we invite you to remember a few more sentence structures, with the help of which you can easily formulate necessary and valuable advice so that it looks unobtrusive and polite.

We use a modal verb

Google shortcode

There are two modal verbs with which we usually give advice to others - these are " should" And " ought (to)" Both mean the same thing, but when constructing a sentence, pay attention to the fact that should is followed by a verb without ‘to’, and in the case of ought this particle is simply necessary.

• You shouldn't eat so much. – You shouldn’t eat so much.
• You should help your parents now when they are old and unhealthy. – you need to help your parents now, when they are old and sick.
• You ought to think before you speak. – you need to think before you speak.
• You ought not to care so much for your children – they are teenagers and can do everything themselves. - You shouldn’t take care of your children like that - they are already teenagers and can do everything themselves.

Frame your advice as a question

To make the advice sound less intrusive, give it the form of a question and the interrogative construction ‘ is ideal for this Why don't you...?' or ' How about…?’. But remember that when choosing the first construction, we must use an infinitive without “to” after it, and if the second, it must be followed by a gerund (a verb ending in –ing).

• Why don’t you make friends with your neighbor girl? I think she is nice and pleasant. – Why don’t you make friends with the girl next door? I think she's sweet and nice.
• How about trying to find some other way to resolve this problem? – how about trying to find another way to solve this problem?

Put yourself in someone else's shoes

If someone asks for your advice, it can sometimes be helpful to mentally put yourself in their shoes. It's also a good way to explain your advice.

• If I were you, I would take this chance. – If I were you, I would take this chance.

Remember that after would and wouldn’t the infinitive is used without ‘to’.

Make a guess

Making a guess or recommendation is another great way to give advice in a non-intrusive way. You can use the words ‘ suggest' or ' recommend’ combined with the irreplaceable would. Notice that they are followed by a verb ending in -ing.

• I would (not) suggest drinking more water. – I would (not) advise drinking more water.
• I would (not) recommend eating green vegetables. – I would (not) recommend eating green vegetables.

Make your advice stronger

Sometimes you need advice to sound convincing and categorical so that the person to whom it is intended understands that it is really important. And for this we need the expression ‘ you had better (not) ...’ which is necessarily followed by an infinitive without ‘to’:

• You had better consult a doctor before taking this medicine. – It is better to consult your doctor before buying this medicine.
• You had better not eat so much in the evening. – You shouldn’t eat so much in the evenings.

It happens that our English-speaking interlocutor, not knowing what to do, asks us for advice. What to answer to this? In today's blog tutorial you will learn ten English phrases, with the help of which you can give advice or offer him your option of action.

Let's get started!

1. I recоn yоu shоuld(quit your job) (= I think you should quit your job)
2. Why don’t you (call your mum) now?)(= Why don't you call your mom right now?)
3. How about (telling me the truth) ?(= You better tell me the whole truth...)
4. If I were you, I’d (find another girlfriend)(= If I were you, I would find myself another girl)
5. I suggest you (see your doctor as son as you can) (= I suggest you see a doctor as soon as possible)
6. You'd (really) better (give me good reasons why you didn’t come home last night) (= Try to convincingly explain to me why you weren’t home all night)
7. I wоuld strongly advise you to (stop your shenanigans)(= I very strongly advise you to stop these antics)
8. My advice would be good (keep our conversation a secret) (= My advice: don't tell anyone about our conversation)
9. It might be a good idea (talk to Jim about his addiction to online games) (= You should talk to Jim about his addiction to Internet games, would you?)
10. You might try (dragging the body over here) (= Maybe we should drag the corpse here?)

Comments

1. Phrases 1 - 4 used in informal contexts. Phrases 2 and 3 allow you to give advice carefully, without being pushy.

2. Phrase 4 is the most “tough” of them.

3. Phrase 5: sounds quite neutral and can be used in both formal and informal situations. Your advice will sound more cautious if you emphasize the word “ suggest”, and more aggressively when emphasizing the main verb (in this case, the word “ see”)

4. Phrase 6: sounds quite assertive. The implication is that your interlocutor will face unpleasant consequences if he refuses to follow the advice you give.

5. Phrases 7 and 8: have a relatively formal sound. Phrase 7 expresses a greater degree of insistence compared to phrase 8.

6. Phrases 9 and 10 allow you to give advice in the most streamlined, soft form. At the same time, phrase 10 sounds less formal compared to phrase 9.

This concludes our lesson, and I hope that it will be useful for you. Thank you for being with me. See you in a week.

Together we will defeat English.

Who among us doesn't like to give advice? Where to go, what to do, what to wear tonight - we can hear about all this, even if we didn’t ask.

In English, the topic of advice is more sensitive. A foreigner may not always like it when you recommend something to him when he doesn’t ask you to. How then do Americans and British people live without advice? They have many ways to convey their suggestions, wishes and recommendations, most often in a veiled form.

Advice or advise?

Advice translated as "advice", it is a noun, advise– “advise”, verb.

There are different tips:

That's really constructive advice and Ron's advice was bad. - It's really useful advice, and Ron's advice was bad.

Remember that English advice is an uncountable noun, so the indefinite article cannot be used with it and cannot be used in the plural. If you want to emphasize that there is only one piece of advice, use phrases such as a bit of advice, a piece of advice, a word of advice, some advice. All these combinations will be translated as “small advice”, “one piece of advice”. English also has such combinations as two pieces of advice or several words of advice, but they don't usually say that. If there is more than one advice, you can say some advice(a little advice; a couple of tips / a few tips).

He gave me a word of advice on my driving. - He gave me little advice regarding my driving.

Advice cannot only be “given.” Other verbs are also used with it:

Verb to advise used in native speech much less frequently. In the English tradition, it is not customary to give advice directly (except in situations where you are openly asked for it). In case of emergency you can say: I strongly advise... - I highly recommend...

I strongly advise you don't have to keep company with him. – I strongly you I recommend don't hang out with him.

As mentioned above, it is better not to give advice directly. In order to be a polite advisor, use sentences ( suggestions) and recommendations ( recommendations). This purpose is served by:

• Verbs to suggest(suggest), to recommend(recommend). These verbs are usually followed by a noun, gerund, or that clause. An infinitive is also used with the verb to recommend.
  

  He recommended taking a chicken in this restaurant. - He recommended to try chicken at this restaurant.

  I suggest that you take morning courses. - I I advise you have to go to morning classes.

  He suggested going by bus. - He advised me to go by bus.

  Jane recommended Alice not to wear this skirt for the date. – Jane advised Alice shouldn't wear this skirt on a date.

• Expressions to come up with a suggestion/recommendation(make a proposal/recommendation), to make a suggestion/recommendation(make a suggestion/make a recommendation).
  

  She came up with an interesting suggestion but her boss rejected it. - She made an interesting proposal, but the boss rejected him.

  He made a recommendation to the board of directors on the working conditions. He made recommendations to the board of directors regarding working conditions.

• What other words and phrases to use for advice, read the article “”.

Modal verbs are the most common way to give advice. Moreover, each modal verb conveys its degree of insistence:

• must– persistent advice;
• should– general advice;
• ought to– advice of a moral nature;
• can (could) – advice-suggestion.

You ought to call your mom this week. - You must call mom this week. (my moral principles say that I should call my mother)

We can join them after dinner. - We Can join them after dinner.

With the help must And should we give advice to loved ones and friends, since these verbs openly tell us what to do. To an unfamiliar person, such advice will seem too straightforward. Here it is better to use can (could).

You must see this film on a big screen! - You I just have to see this movie on the big screen!

He shouldn't eat so many hamburgers and French fries. - He should not there are so many burgers and fries.

If your interlocutor neglects your advice, and you want to tell him that the recommendation is very valuable and should definitely be used, then you are in luck. In English there is a special construction for this - had better(it would be better), in an abbreviated version - ‘d better. It usually implies that something bad might happen if you reject the advice.

You 'd better put on your wooly hat. It's freezing outside, you can catch a cold. – Better be you should wear a woolen hat. It's freezing outside, you might catch a cold.

You 'd better stop tempting the dog before it bites you. - You better be stop teasing the dog before it bites you.

If you're still unsure how to express your advice, watch a video about the difference between should, ought to, had better:

If you want to come across as polite, offer advice in the form of a question. Such advice will be polite and unobtrusive.

An advice question might look like this:

• Why don't you..? - Why not..?
• How about..? - What about.. ?
• Have you tried..? -Have you tried...?
• Have you thought about..? -Have you thought about...?
• Have you considered..? -Have you thought about..?

Why don't you come up and meet this girl? She's given you a smile. – Why do not you come up and not meet this girl? She smiled at you.

Have you considered giving up your work as a ticket collector and concentrating on studying? – You didn't think quit your job as an usher and focus on your studies?

A conditional sentence is another way of delivering polite advice. In this form, your words will not seem intrusive to your interlocutor, but will sound like a proposal.

He will let you drive his car if you ask him. - He'll let you drive his car, If you ask.

If you visited her in hospital, she would be really glad. – If you visited her in the hospital, she would be very happy.

• If you have forgotten the “conventions”, the article “” will help you refresh your knowledge.

Put yourself in somebody's shoes

Continuing the theme of conditional sentences: if you want to give good advice, put yourself in the person's shoes ( put yourself in their shoes). This form of advice is doubly advantageous: you will make an impression both as a well-mannered person and as an understanding person.

• If I were you... - If I were you...
• If I were in your shoes... – If I were in your place (literally – in your shoes)...
• If I were in your place... – If I were in your place...
• If that happened to me... – If this happened to me...
• If it was my decision... – If I made a decision...
• If I had that problem... – If I had such a problem...

I would call my wife immediately if such a joyous thing happened to me. - I would immediately call my wife, if such a joyful event happened to me.

If I had that problem, I would never let anyone interfere in my business. – If I had such a problem, I would never allow anyone to interfere in my affairs.

We can also use the verb to want when we want to give advice or warn about something. This option is purely conversational. In meaning it coincides with the modal verb should and is translated as “should”, “must”. Usually, to want used in the present tense, less often in the future.

You want to be careful in the streets in the evening. - You should be careful outside in the evening.

You'll want to take off your coat and bring it to the dry-cleaner’s. - You necessary take off your coat and take it to the dry cleaner.

• It is a good idea... - Good idea...
• Whatever you do, don't forget to... – Whatever you do, don’t forget...
• ...always works for me. – ... always helps me.
• Your only option is... – Your only option...
• You have no choice but... – You have no choice but...
• ...is worth a try. - ...worth a try.
• I read in a book that... – I read in a book that...
• Perhaps/Maybe ... will really work. – Maybe... it will actually work.

It's a good idea to calm down and not attack that arrogant guy. – Good idea will calm down and not attack this arrogant guy.

This herbal tea always works for my headache. – This herbal tea Always to me helps for headaches.
