What to expect in today's lesson 

First: we will look at the grammar: should-shouldn't 

Second: I have some exercises that we will be doing together in class in the form of a lesson up

 

Questions? Hands in the air!

Let's take a look at our coursebooks 

Page 111 grammar part 5.3 

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)

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 is 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.

Should not or Shouldn’t just put 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)
