Should and Should not (2)

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
