Which part of speech is the word 'Suggestion' in general usage?

• A. Noun
• B. Verb
• C. Adjective
• D. Adverb

Answer: (A)

Suggestion is a noun. It names a proposal or idea offered for consideration. For example, you can say “This is a suggestion” or “I have a suggestion about the schedule.” It can be pluralized as “suggestions” and can function as the subject or the object in a sentence, such as “A suggestion came from the team” or “They accepted my suggestion.” It’s not a verb—the related verb is “suggest.” Related forms include the adjective “suggestive” (as in a suggestive hint) and the adverb “suggestively.”
