Giving Advice with Should and Shouldn't
The structure for using should is simple because the word never changes for different people. To make a positive sentence, use 'should' followed by a basic verb, like saying someone should study. To say something is a bad idea, use the negative form 'shouldn't' before the verb. This helps you be helpful and suggest the right things to do.
- Use 'subject + should + basic verb' for positive advice.
- Use 'shouldn't' to tell someone that something is a bad idea.
- The word should stays the same for I, you, he, she, it, we, and they.
Questions and Important Grammar Rules
To ask for advice, simply put the word 'should' at the beginning of your sentence. There are two critical rules to remember: never use the word 'to' after should, and never add an 's' to the following verb. For example, you must say 'she should eat' instead of 'she should eats'. These rules apply even when talking about he, she, or it.
