How to make suggestions

The Polite & Classic (The "Standard")

These are perfect for someone you don't know very well or if you want to be a bit more "chivalrous."

• Would you like to have an ice cream with me?
• I was wondering if you’d like to get an ice cream later.

The Casual & Friendly (The "Everyday")

• Do you want to have an ice cream with me?
• Do you fancy an ice cream? (Very common in British English).
• Are you up for getting an ice cream?

N. B. Do you fancy  having an ice cream ?

The "Suggestion" Style (The "Soft Sell")

Instead of asking "Do you want to," you suggest the idea to see how they react.

• How about having an ice cream?
• What about having an ice cream?
• Why don't we go and  have an ice cream?
• Shall we go and have an ice cream? (Classic, slightly elegant).

The Direct & Spontaneous (The "Cool" Way)

Perfect for when you are already walking or acting on a sudden thought.

• Let's grab an ice cream!
• Ice cream? (Short, sweet, and works every time with a smile).
• I’m headed for an ice cream—want to come along?

Comparison Summary

• "Do you want to get an ice cream?" = Let's buy one and keep moving.
• "Fancy having an ice cream with me?" = Let's enjoy the ice cream together (sitting down).

HAVE vs GET

 The Concept: Experience vs. Acquisition

• Have + [Food/Drink]: Focuses on the experience of consuming. It implies sitting down, enjoying the flavor, and the social aspect.
• “Let’s have a coffee.” (Let's sit and talk while drinking.)
• Get + [Food/Drink]: Focuses on the transaction or the movement. It implies buying, picking up, or fetching.
• “Let’s get a coffee.” (Let's go to the shop and buy one—maybe to go.)

Exercise: "The Context Camera"

Choose have, get, or both

Scenario	Sentence	Best Choice	Why?
1. You are at a park and see a nearby ice cream truck.	"It's so hot! Let's go ___ an ice cream."	Get	Focuses on walking to the truck to buy it.
2. You want to invite a friend to sit and chat at a café.	"Would you like to ___ an ice cream with me?"	Have	Focuses on the social experience and eating together.

4. You are finished with dinner and looking at the menu.	"The icecream looks great. I think I'll ___ that."	Have	Focuses on the act of eating/consuming.

A story in the Simple Past

 

The Tale of the Terrible Tourist

Last summer, Barnaby decided to visit the Great Pyramids. He packed his bags, grabbed his camera, and flew to Cairo. However, Barnaby was not a very organized traveler.

On the first day, he woke up late because he forgot to set his alarm. He ran to the bus stop, but the bus left five minutes early. Barnaby did not cry; he walked three miles in the desert heat instead. When he finally arrived at the Sphinx, he felt incredibly excited. He took out his camera to snap a photo, but there was a problem: he did not have any batteries!

Suddenly, a friendly local offered him a cold lemonade. Barnaby drank it in one gulp. He bought a souvenir postcard, wrote a quick note to his mom, and sat in the shade. Even though he had no photos, he enjoyed every second. He learned that the best memories aren't kept in a camera, but in the heart. (And he bought batteries the next morning!)
