Answers
Answer:
The auxiliary words "shall", "would", "will", and "should" are often interchanged and used wrongly.
To answer the questions, we need to understand their use and the differences between them -
- The verb 'will' expresses a desire, wish, or choice.
- The verb 'would' expresses a strong preference.
- The verb 'shall' expresses a mere suggestion, that could be taken up, or left behind.
- The verb 'should', on the other hand, is used to give out a stronger, more imposing opinion.
