💡 Grammar Points
The 'E' to 'I' Swap
In the past tense, when talking about 'him,' 'her,' 'them,' or 'you (formal),' the 'e' in the middle of this verb changes to an 'i'. That's why we say 'sugirió' instead of 'sugerió'.
Using 'Que'
If you want to say someone suggested that someone else do something, use 'que' followed by a special verb form: 'Sugirió que yo fuera' (He suggested that I go).
