Grammar: Should and Shouldn't

Read the notes first and answer the questions about should and shouldn't.

Should

You use should when you are saying what would be the right thing to do or the right state for something to be in.

Examples:

1) You should exercise regularly to be fit.

2) We should control the intake of sugar in our body.

3) Parents should teach their children to swim.

Shouldn't

Just as the word 'should', we can use shouldn't to give advice about something that is not right to be done or something we think is wrong.

Examples:

1) You shouldn't have shouted at her like that.

2) You shouldn't pay so high for that item.

3) We shouldn't behave badly in front of elders.
