Uh, Let's see.

It's okay.

Good.

Nice.

All right, cool.

There.

Lots.

People watching.

Excellent.

All right, let's get started.

So I'm going to start over here.

I'm going to I'm going to go from, like, ah, very, very beginner, friendly to a little more challenging.

And then we'll stay at a little kind of intermediate level.

So let's begin with some very beginner friendly, some very beginner patterns that we can use with should.

So first point we use should and should not to express suggestions or to express advice.

This is the pattern that we use when we want to express a suggestion.

We want to give someone advice subject plus should or shouldn't plus the infinitive form of avert Reminder.

The infinitive form of a verb is like the dictionary form.

It's the form when you open the dictionary.

When you check the dictionary.

That's the form of the verb that you see.

This is the infinitive for another point.

This part right here is not not so.

Should not reduces.

To Shouldn't shouldn't Should not becomes shouldn't.

So that's what this is.

I'm going to use this in today's lesson a lot, so I probably won't say should not.

I'll probably say, shouldn't should.

So let's look at some examples.

While I read these examples.

Please send me your examples in the chat.

I will check them.

We'll check as many as I can live.

So let's take a look.

So, 1st 1 you should exercise every day.

You should exercise every day.

My subject is you.

Here's should.

Here's my infinitive verb exercise exercise.

You should exercise every day.

Of course, This sentence is also correct.

You should exercise.

That's very general advice.

You should exercise every day.

Gives a little more information.

Okay, Someone Andrew said I should eat more fruit.

Okay, good.

So, like giving advice to yourself or a suggestion to yourself?

That's totally fine.

Okay.

Uh, next example.

Then he shouldn't eat junk food.

He shouldn't eat junk food.

My subject.

Is he here?

I have the negative.

So this is something we recommend not to.

D'oh.

So he shouldn't eat again.

Infinitive verb.

So no change to the verb.

Hey there, J p tag.

Thanks very much for supporting our channel.

Awesome.

Okay.

And then junk food, if you don't know Junk food.

Junk food is unhealthy food.

Like in the US That means like potato chips.

Uh, cookies?

I don't know, crackers.

Lots of my favorite foods.

Those kinds of things.

Okay, so he shouldn't eat junk food.

Please note with this grammar point, we don't need to change the verb This burg, so like he shouldn't eat is incorrect.

No change to this verb here.

Just leave it some examples.

Air coming in.

Fantastic.

Sinker Racer says you should wash your hands every hour.

Nice example over right now.

Uh, Christopher says I should learn English from Alicia.

Who?

I hope so.

Sydney's says I should stay at home these days.

Yes, indeed.

Excellent.

Very timely examples, everybody.

Ah, let's see.

Jacob says we shouldn't give up.

Nice.

Everybody has a nice supportive example.

Sentences on Facebook.

Hang says you should study online in this difficult situation.

Nice idea.

Yes, I hope so.

I hope so.

Uh, good.

Okay, let's go to one more example for suggestions or advice, and then we'll continue on.

Okay, Uh, we should think about our vacation plans for next year.

We should think about our vacation plans for next year.

So again, here's my subject.

Here's should and my infinitive verb is Think I included this one because of this pattern this think about you might hear this pattern in planning situations.

We should think about something, something for the future.

This is kind of a handy is a useful pattern we should think about.

You should think about.

It's like saying please consider this for the future, but you're giving a recommendation.

So this is the first use of should I want to talk about today?

Let's continue now to using should to make predictions for the future.

So when we do this, the grammar we use is the same as this one.

So there's no change to the grammar here.

So how do we know it's a prediction we know based on the context based on the conversation on the situation we understand.

Is that advice for Is this person making a guess?

So again, a prediction is a guess.

We're making a guess about the future when you use should to make a prediction.

It's saying like you think there's a very good chance in the future of this thing.

So some examples Our team has had a great year.

Our team has had a great year.

We should win the finals.

We should win the finals.

So this is like a sports example.

Yeah, so if I'm like a basketball team or like a football team or something and my team this part, our team has had a great year.

That means up until now, this year, our team's performance was very good But we say our team has had a great year, then we should win the finals.

So this we should is not a like a recommendation.

This should is a prediction.

So the speaker is making a guess.

I think there's a good chance we're going to win the finals.

That's what this is.

Okay, Another example.

The app we made should be a huge success.

The app we made should be a huge success.

So if you are like an app developing company or if you make software, if you make anything basically, if you create anything and you think there's a good chance it will be successful, you can express it with should.

So the thing I made or the app we made in my example uh, should be so here.

My subject is this the app, the app for the app we made and then should and my verb here is be happy made should be a huge success.

Huge means very, very big.

OK, a final one.

Some examples air coming in.

Then I'll read your examples.

I see There are a lot.

Uh, my parents should arrive in a few minutes.

My parents should arrive in a few minutes.

Subject is my parents should and arrive is my verb.

So again, this is not a suggestion.

This is a prediction.

So I expect my parents are going to arrive.

I think there's a very high chance of that.

I express it with shit.

My parents should arrive in a few minutes, so the grammar is the same.

It just depends on what you want to communicate.

Okay, uh, I'm going to check your examples.

Eso I just missed you on Facebook.

Someone had a really nice one.

Yeah.

Someone said if I study hard, I should pass the exam.

Other you are denying higher if I stop.

Uh, if I study hard, I should pass the exam.

Nice.

Nice example.

Others?

Um, yes.

Lots of people are sending suggestions.

I'm looking for your predictions.

Um, let's see, one day move.

This guy is cloudy.

It should rain later.

Yeah, that's pretty good.

Nice.

Nice.

Uh, that's a very nice one.

Gear militia should be the most popular teacher in the world.

I don't know.

Everybody has their own preferences.

Uh, Alicia, you guys are sending me your your recommendations.

Your recommendations?

Uh, let's I'm looking for your predictions.

Your predictions.

Mmm mmm.

Mmm mmm.

Our team has been in good form.

We should qualify for the next round.

Nice example on Facebook over there.

Great one.

Great.

When I missed your name.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Ah, some of those.

You're really overweight.

You shouldn't eat a lot.

Okay.

So, again, that's a suggestion or advice pattern.

Okay, Great.

Nice examples.
