在中考英语复习中，suggest和insist是两个容易混淆的词语，它们的用法在不同语境下有所区别。

A. 当suggest和suggestion表示“建议”，insist和insistence表示“坚决主张、坚决要求”时，由that引导的宾语从句、主语从句和同位语从句中的谓语动词应使用虚拟语气，即谓语动词用should加上动词原形，should可以省略。例如：

(1) 经理建议我们马上做出决定。

The manager suggested that we (should) make an immediate decision.=The manager suggested our (us) making an immediate decision.=The manager\'s suggestion is that we (should) make an immediate decision. = That we (should) make an immediate decision is the manager\'s suggestion. =That we (should) make an immediate decision is suggested by the manager.

(2) 大夫坚决主张他在床上再待5天。

The doctor insisted that he (should) stay in bed for another five days.=The doctor insisted on his staying in bed for five more days.= The doctor\'s insistence is that he (should) stay in bed for five more days.=That he (should) stay in bed for another five days is the doctor\'s insistence.= That he (should) stay in bed for five more days is insisted by the doctor.

B. 当suggest和suggestion表示“表明、说明”，insist和insistance表示“坚持说、坚决认为”时，由that引导的宾语从句、主语从句、表语从句的谓语动词使用陈述语气。例如：

(1) 会上那位当官的沉默不语表明他不同意这个计划。
