How to use:

Should/Shouldn’t

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)

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)
