tip
¿Cuál es la diferencia entre to suffer something y to suffer from something?
  • El verbo suffer puede usarse por su cuenta: these people suffered a lot during the war. También puede ser seguido por la preposición from, para mencionar el motivo del sufrimiento (normalmente una enfermedad o desgracia similar). Ejemplo: In developed countries, many people suffer from heart diseases. Otro ejemplo: They suffered heavily from the consequences of the economic crisis.
    Cuando se usa sin una preposición entre el verbo y el objeto, suffer denota la habilidad de resistir condiciones o desgracias difíciles. Ejemplo: I can suffer the cold weather. Otro ejemplo: He suffered the disease bravely and was eventually cured.
