--explanation--

In reported speech, to suggest is used to share advice or ideas that someone gave. For example:

  • Direct speech: I think we should update our firewall.

  • Reported speech: Jake suggested updating the firewall.

This shows that someone gave advice or a possible solution without using their exact words.
