To suggest a plan or idea for other people to consider.
“I would like to propose an alternative date for the workshop.”
“May I propose that we split the cost of the repairs?”
Use 'propose' in CELPIP Writing Task 1 when the prompt asks you to suggest a solution, alternative date, or idea, such as proposing a new meeting time. It sounds more formal and confident than 'I think we should,' which fits the professional tone the task often requires.
Synonyms: suggest, put forward, recommend
