there is a difference between suggestion and offer. suggestion is used when we give an idea, opinion, or advice to be considered for others before that person makes a decision.
while the offer is an offer given to others in the form of assistance or other things such as offering food or drinks where the person we offer may accept or reject the offer.
-DEFINITION OF ASKING SUGGESTION:
Asking suggestion is a way for someone to ask for device in english when they have a problem.
there are many expressions that can be used to ask for suggestion. one way to do this is to use the word "shall", which means next.
shall I / We + verb 1
examples :
-shall we go home early?
-shall i apologize to her?
in addition to the example of answering above using the word "shall", another example of answering to ask for suggestion is :
what should i do?
what do you recommend?
do you have any idea?
-DEFINITION OF GIVING SUGGESTION:
giving suggestion is a way for someone to give advice to others by using english.
one way to give suggestion is to use expressions like :
you should + verb 1

-you should look for it on youtube
-ACCEPTING A SUGGESTION
when we agree and accept advice given by someone we can say :
-sounds great
-that's a good idea
-DECLINING A SUGGESTION
when we disagree and think the advice given is not good enough, we can say :
-maybe some other time
-i'm not sure about that

some examples of expressions giving offers that we can use are as follows :
would you like + noun / infinitive

-yes please, thank you
-DECLINING AN OFFER
when we reject an offer, someone refuses us gently and politely. for example we can say:
-thank you for your kindness, but i can handle it
-i'm sorry i can't
that is the explanation about asking & giving suggestion and offering to do something.
