Introduction
Modalni glagol [modal verb] je tip pomožnega glagola, ki sam po sebi nima pomena, ampak modificira glavni glagol, spreminja njegov pomen in dodaja podrobnosti o dejanju.
Should je tip pomožnih modalnih glagolov, ki jih uporabljamo za izražanje obveze in dolžnosti preko nasvetov ali priporočil.

Summary
Modalni glagol [modal verb] should izraža šibkejšo obvezo ali nasvet. Lahko ga dojemamo kot šibkejšega od must.
Strukture so:
- Trdilna: Subject + should + verb + …
- Nikalna: Subject + should + not + verb + …
- Vprašalna: Should + subject + verb + …?
Na primer:
— Trdilna: “You should do your homework to understand the subject.” = Should uporabljamo za dajanje nasvetov na prijazen način.
— Nikalna: “You shouldn´t do your homework to understand the subject.” = Shouldn’t uporabljamo za dajanje nasvetov na prijazen način.
— Vprašalna: “Should you do your homework to understand the subject?” = Should…? uporabljamo za spraševanje po potrditvi nasveta.
♦ “You must do your homework or you will fail the class.” = Must izraža strožjo obvezo.
