Scaffolding: Modal Verb SHOULD
SHOULD/SHOULDN'T: giving advices
We use SHOULD to give advices or suggestions to the people. It is a modal verb so there isn't any change with the third person. In the negative form we use SHOULDN'T.
For example:
- You should study more if you want to pass the next exam.
- You shouldn't eat so much sugar, it is not good for your help.
Let's learn a bit more about this modal verb by the following video.
