The communicative acts of offering advice and making suggestions occur when the speaker wishes to express his or her opinion regarding what the hearer should or should not do in a certain situation. This can refer to emotional actions or feelings (e.g., trying to make the other person cheer up) as well as physical actions (e.g., taking a seat, having a cup of coffee).
In some languages, advice and suggestions can be sensitive communicative acts because the hearer may not always want to take the advice or listen to the suggestion. In some languages (e.g., some varieties of English), it is not appropriate to give advice or make suggestions if they are not solicited.
key word :

If I were you, I'd…
"If I were you, I'd watch more television."
*All these expressions are followed by a verb, without to. For example: "He should visit the Eiffel Tower." (Not "he should to visit the Eiffel Tower.")
suggest and recommend
Either use a verb + ing
"I suggest visiting the Eiffel Tower." (We should all go.)
OR use that + a verb without to
"I suggest that you visit the Eiffel Tower." (I'm not going.)
OR use a noun
"I recommend the lasagne." (It's a very good dish to choose in this restaurant.)
advise
"I advise you to buy a good dictionary."
advice
Advice is an uncountable noun. This means that we can't say an advice. Instead, we say some advice or a piece of advice.
"Let me give you some advice."
"She gave me a very useful piece of advice: to buy a good dictionary."
Speaking tip
Many people don't like getting advice if they haven't asked for it! To avoid giving the wrong impression, you can try some of these expressions:"You could always…"
"Have you considered…"
"Perhaps we could…"
"Do you think it's a good idea to…"
and generaly, there 4 ways to make an suggestion
1) WHAT ABOUT/HOW ABOUT ... + Base form + -INGWhat about going to the pictures tonight?
How about going to the pictures tonight?
2) WHY + NegativeWhy don't we go to the swimming pool tomorrow?
3) IMPERATIVE: Let's + Base formLet's go to the restaurant now!
