And Why Thanks Expand If you are requesting that it be started earlier, it would probably be more natural to say: Let's propose to the others that the show be started a little earlier. If you want to give them the option, you could say: Let's inform the others that the show can be started a little earlier. But having "propose" and "can/could" in the same sentence seems ungrammatical to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
