๐ก Giving Good Advice: Should and Shouldn't
Learn how to use should and shouldn't to give advice to your friends. You will practice making helpful suggestions in everyday situations.
When to use 'should'
We use 'should' when we want to tell someone that something is a good idea. It is polite and friendly. After 'should', we always use the base form of the verb without 'to'. For example, you can say 'You should sleep' or 'She should eat fruit'. It helps people make good choices.
When to use 'shouldn't'
We use 'shouldn't' (which means should not) when something is a bad idea. We want to stop someone from making a mistake or getting hurt. Just like 'should', we use the base verb right after it. For example, 'You shouldn't stay up late' or 'They shouldn't eat that'.
Asking for advice with 'should'
You can also use 'should' to ask other people for advice when you are not sure what to do. You put 'Should' at the very beginning of the sentence, followed by 'I' or 'we' or 'you'. Then you add the main action.
