Should 2

A. You can use should after a number of verbs, especially:

Demand Insist Propose Recommend Suggest

o They insisted that we should have dinner with them.

o I demanded that he should apologize.
o What do you suggest I should do?
o I insist that something should be done about the problem.

We also say ´It´s important / vital / necessary / essential that... Should ….´;
o It´s essential that everyone should be here on time.

B. You can also leave out should in all the sentences in section A:

o It's essential that you be here on time. (= that you should be here)
o I demanded that he apologise. (That he should apologise)
o What do you suggest I do?
o I insist that something be done about the problem.

This form (you be/he apologise etc.) is sometimes called the subjunctive. It
is the same as the infinitive (without to).
You can also use normal present and past tenses:
o It's essential that you are here on time.
 o I demanded that he apologised.
After suggest, you cannot use to … (´to do/to by´ etc.) you can say:
o What do you suggest we should do?
or What do you suggest we do? (but not 'What do you suggest us to
do?')

o Jane suggested that I (should) buy a car.

or Jane suggested that I bought a car. (but not 'Jane suggested me to
buy')

You can also use -ing after suggest: What do you suggest doing? See unit
53

C. You can use should after a number of adjectives, especially:

Stranger Odd Funny Typical Natural Interesting Surprised Surprising

o It´s strange that he should be late. He´s usually on time.
o I was surprised that he should say such a thing.

D. If…. Should…

You can say 'If something should happen...'. For example:

o If Tom should phone while I'm out, tell him I'll phone him back later.

'If Tom should phone' is similar to 'If Tom phones'. With should, the
speaker feels that the possibility is smaller. Another example:
 o We have no jobs at present. But if the situation should change, we´ll
let you know.

You can also being these sentences with should (Should something

…): 2-14-1880
o Should Tom Phone, tell him i´ll call him back later.

E. You can use should…/ I shouldn´t … to give somebody advice. For

example:
o 'Shall I leave now?' 'No, I should wait a bit longer.'

Here, 'I should wait'= 'I would wait if I were you, I advise you to wait'. Two
more examples:

o I´m going out now, is it cold? Yes, I should were a coat.

o I shouldn't stay up too late. You'll be tired tomorrow.
