    This document provides advice on using modal verbs like "should" to give advice or opinions about present and future events. It explains that one can say "I think you should verb" to give a positive recommendation, or "I don't think you should verb" to advise against something. It notes that "I think you shouldn't verb" is incorrect, and offers alternatives like "Should I verb?" or using "have to" or "must" for stronger recommendations.

    You can use the modal verb 'should' in the


    present and future tense to express your
    opinion and what you think about events
    that are happening or might happen in the
    future.
    Positive:
    You can start by saying:
    I think you should + verb*
    Here you are giving advice. You can also use other subjects
    like:
    I think HE should…
    I think WE should…
    I think THEY should…
    How about when we want to give advice about what NOT to
    do. Here we use:
    I DON’T think you should + verb.
    I don’t think you should go.
    I don’t think you should stay.
    BUT be careful. We CANNOT say …
    I think you SHOULDN’T + verb. (No, this is NOT correct).
    In English we do NOT use shouldn’t after I think.
    Interrogative:
    Should I + verb…?
    For example:
    Should I stay or Should I go?
    For stronger advice you can use 'have to' or 'must':

    You must see a doctor


    You have to take her to see that movie. She'll love it!
