As I suggested

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English.

This phrase is used to refer to a suggestion that was made previously without specifying the exact time it was suggested.

Alternatives:

  • as I mentioned
  • as I proposed

As I suggested earlier

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English.

This phrase is used to refer to a suggestion that was made in the past, emphasizing that it was suggested earlier.

Alternatives:

  • as I mentioned earlier
  • as I proposed earlier
Both phrases are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. "As I suggested" can be used when referring to a previous suggestion without specifying when it was made. On the other hand, "as I suggested earlier" is used when you want to emphasize that the suggestion was made in the past.
