suggest sb to do sth
Someone wrote to me saying "I suggest you to use ..."
Is "suggest sb to do sth" grammatical? I don't know for sure whether the person who wrote to me was a native English speaker.

No, you don't put "to" in that phrase. You have a simple subjunctive form.
I suggest you use...
I suggest we use...
I suggest he/she use... (yes! You don't write "uses" here)
I think even if a native English speaker didn't know the grammar rule behind this, he/she still wouldn't add "to". It simply sounds wrong.
