There are various ways how we can ask for/give advice in English. Imagine you have
a problem and you ask one of your friends for a piece of advice, or a friend asks you for
advice. You can ask for advice/ give advice by using some of the following expressions;

A. Giving Advice
To do something

– I think you’d better …

– If I were you, I’d …

– It would probably be a good idea …

– Take my advice and …

– I advice you to …

– How about … ?

Not to do something
– I don’t think you should …

– I would not …, If I were you.

– You’d better not …

Example Expression of Giving Advice

D. Grammar Focus ( that-clause)

from English Grammar

We use that as a conjunction to link a verb, adjective or noun with the following clause.

Verb + that-clause

Verbs commonly followed by that include reporting verbs (say, tell, admit, etc.) and mental
process verbs (believe, think, know, hope, etc.):
They said that four million workers stayed at home to protest against the tax.

The survey indicated that 28 per cent would prefer to buy a house through a building
society than through a bank.

Adjective + that-clause

We use be + adjective + that-clause to express opinions and feelings. Some adjectives


commonly used in this way are sure, certain, right, important, afraid, pleased, sorry,
surprised, worried. We can omit that with no change in meaning:

It’s important (that) we look at the problem in more detail.

I’m sure (that) you’ll know a lot of people there.


They were afraid (that) we were going to be late.

Noun + that-clause

We use a noun + that-clause to express opinions and feelings, often about certainty and
possibility. We also use that with reporting nouns. Some nouns commonly used in this way
are belief, fact, hope, idea, possibility, suggestion, statement, claim, comment, argument:

He is also having intensive treatment in the hope that he will be able to train on Friday.
