apologized
We use apologize + for + verb-ing to express regret for an action. Neither "suggest" nor "promise" is followed by the preposition "for" in this way.
promised
We use promise + (not) to + infinitive to commit to doing or not doing something. "Warned" would need an object (warned us not to), and "apologized" would need "for not using."
warned
We use warn + object + that clause to alert someone of a danger or rule. "Suggested him that" and "apologized him that" are grammatically incorrect patterns.
