When suggestion is used in a sentence we use a plural word

How?? If suggestion recommend advice and some other few we only use past tense to talk to people as a sign of respect in reported speech e.g may I come in not can I come in

yea ... remember no question mark ... Dont choose "what" ...
Re: Unilag 2015/2016 Admission by Umartins1(m): 7:40pm On Aug 15, 2015
When a suggestion is made, or a recommendation is made or a proposal, it is to be followed by a past tense.

E.g. We recommend that the vice principal went there.


2. When rather is followed by an object, past tense must be used

E.g. I would rather you went home.


English is crazy!

guys look at that question again, the sentence implies that the person was calling and he was told to call again. simple!

The bolded is wrongly constructed. There is the absence of fullstop after the adverb 'around'. It should rather be:

My boss is not around. I suggest you called back.

After the verb 'suggest', the next verb should be in the past tense.
