Should and Should not (1)

Practise using the modal verb "should"!

We use "should" to give advice, recommendations or talk about expectations and obligations we have.

For example: You should close your window, it is going to rain. ->recommendation
Paul should practise the new words for tomorrow's vocabulary test. -> advice

Should is followed by the infinitive like all modal verbs.
