Answer:
Should is a modal verb. It is used to make recommendations or give advice. It can also be used to express obligation as well as expectation. When we use should in a sentence, it gives the meaning of “It’s a good idea”.
Look at these examples:
You should drink water every day. (recommendation)
He should study for the test tomorrow. (advice)
I should buy a gift for the teacher. (obligation)
They should be here by now. (expectation)
Using the modal verb should is easy and fun. You can use any subject, place “should” after the subject but before the base verb. Notice in the four examples, the underlined verbs are in their base forms. That right! You don’t have to worry about any special endings on the verbs when you use them with should! Here is the formula:
subject + should + base verb
We can change the subjects in the sentences and you will see that when we use should, the verb remains in the base form.
They should drink water.
I should study for the test tomorrow.
You should buy a gift for the teacher.
He should be here by now.
Should not or Shouldn’t just puts the sentence in the negative form. So you are NOT recommending something, NOT advising something, NOT expecting something or “It’s not a good idea.” For example:
You shouldn’t watch a lot of TV. (recommendation/advice)
She should not buy that old car. (recommendation/advice)
He shouldn’t arrive in Raleigh until tomorrow. (expectation)
Pronunciation tip: The “l” in should is silent. The “ou” in should sounds like the “oo” in “book”, “cook” and “look”. Think of this: “shood”.
