PART 4 Giving advice and making suggestions 2

Note on endings: In Part 4, you are introduced to more idiomatic ways of giving advice and
suggestions. You need to recognise which verbs are followed by the base infinitive (modals – for
example, could and would – are followed by the base infinitive), which verbs are followed by -ing
(for example, miss + -ing), and you need to recognise that we use -ing after prepositions such as on
and without.

1 You really can’t leave London without visiting the Tate Modern.
2 You really shouldn’t miss riding on a London bus.
3 If you have time, you could even go to places like Greenwich.
4 A real must-see is Buckingham Palace.
5 If I were in your shoes, I’d buy a ticket for the London Eye.
6 Don’t miss out on seeing a West End show.

PART 5 Closing the email

1 Say hello to Ana.


2 Let me know how your trip goes.
3 Hope to hear from you again soon.
4 Write again if you want more advice.
5 We must meet up when you’re in London.
6 Hope you have a great holiday.
