Grammar: Modals for giving advice

Modals for giving advice

Use modals of advice to talk about what is or isn
´t a good idea. Modals are followed by the simple
form of a verb.
Had better is stronger than should or ought to. It
means something bad could happen if the advice
isn´t followed.
Use maybe, perhaps, or I think with modals to
make the advice sound gentler and friendlier.
