 112  ! Historically should was the past form of shall and both the forms expressed obligation. But in, present-day English they have developed different meanings and are treated as two different verbs. Should followed by the indefinite infinitive may be used with reference to the present and future and is not changed in reported speech. You should be more careful. Вам следует быть внимательнее. I told him he should be more careful. Should is nearly always interchangeable with ought to, as their meanings coincide. It expresses: I. Moral obligation or duty which may not be fulfilled. Should is found in this sense in all kinds of sentences. All students should submit their work by present date (but some of them don’t). (Студенты должны сдать работу к сегодняшнему дню.) Private firearms should be banned. (Яичное оружие следует запретить.) Не should phone his parents tonight, but he probably won’t have time. (Он должен позвонить, но, вероятно, у него не будет времени на это.) If you see anything strange you should call the police. Mr.Z. I ll write as soon as possible. However in this sense ought is preferable. When used in the negative should denotes a weakened prohibition, more like negative advice. He shouldn 'r be so impatient. 112 |
