Common Mistakes

• ✗ I got a good recommendation of the concierge.

  ✓ I got a great concierge recommendation.

  'Concierge recommendation' functions as a compound noun. If you want to use a prepositional phrase, use 'from the concierge' rather than 'of'.

• ✗ The concierge recommendation suggested us to visit the old town.

  ✓ The concierge recommended that we visit the old town.

  A recommendation itself doesn't 'suggest people to do' things. It is much more natural to use the verb 'recommend' directly, or say 'the recommendation was to visit...'
