“Suggest” means to offer an idea or opinion like, “She suggested we play video games” or “I suggested that it was too hard for her”. “Demonstrate” means to show something like, “She demonstrated her skill” or “He demonstrated how to park”.

@lulu-rush it essay writing:
Suggest: similar to “imply”
- She left the party, which suggests she wasn’t having fun
- we are not 100% sure why she left, but we can infer that she wasn’t having fun
- this suggests that she is a kind person
- we don’t know for sure if she is kind, but we think she is kind. We imply that she is kind based on the context
Demonstrate:
- her actions demonstrate that she’s a mean person
- this means we know for sure she is mean. We are not using other information to imply that she is mean
