SHOULD


Resultado de imagen para should

 Should se utiliza para recomendar hacer algo y para afirmar si nos parece que algo es como debería ser o no.
Como todos los verbos modales, should va acompañado del infinitivo del verbo principal sin to.
  • You should get some more sleep.
  • The world should be.
Para formar la negación se añade not después de should y, al contrario que en el caso de might, casi siempre se contrae en la forma negativa.

EJEMPLO

 Deberías hacer algo respecto a tu pelo, cariño.
 You should do something about your hair, darling.  
 En mi opinión, deberías ocuparte de ello ahora mismo.  
 I think you should see to it right now.
 Todo el mundo debería tener un sitio donde vivir.
 Everyone should have a place to live.
En estos ejemplos verás /shhhuudnt/, el sonido de la negación contraída.
 No deberías preocuparte tanto sobre lo que piensa la gente.
 You shouldn’t worry so much about what people think.
 No debería ver películas de miedo; me dan pesadillas.
 I shouldn’t watch horror films; they give me nightmares.
 Encontrar un trabajo decente no debería ser una misión imposible.  
 Finding a decent job shouldn’t have to be mission impossible.  
Fíjate en como empieza la primera pregunta: /shhhúdai/.
 ¿Debería quedarme o irme?
 Should I stay or should I go?
 ¿No debería (él) ir al médico?
 Shouldn’t he see a doctor?
 ¿Crees que debería sincerarme?
