HAD BETTER NOT = negative strong advice ✅ "You'd better not be late" (warning) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎯 FOR: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✔️ B1-B2 learners ✔️ IELTS/TOEFL prep ✔️ Business communication ✔️ Polite advice giving ✔️ Professional emails ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💬 PRACTICE: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Give advice using SHOULD! Share in comments 👇 Example: "You should practice English every day. You shouldn't worry about mistakes. I should have started earlier, but better late than never!" ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🆚 COMMON MISTAKES: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ❌ "You should to go" → ✅ "You should go" (no TO after SHOULD!) ❌ "You ought go" → ✅ "You ought TO go" (OUGHT needs TO!) ❌ "I should go yesterday" → ✅ "I should have gone yesterday" (past = SHOULD HAVE + PP) ❌ "should of" → ✅ "should have" / "should've" (spelling error!) ❌ "Do you should go?" → ✅ "Should you go?" (no DO with modals!) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔥 DID YOU KNOW? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💡 SHOULD vs MUST strength: SHOULD = advice (softer, choice) MUST = obligation (stronger, no choice) 💡 OUGHT TO is declining! Americans rarely use it - SHOULD dominates British English uses it more, but SHOULD still wins 💡 "SHOULDA" in speech: "I shoulda known" = "I should have known" Very common in casual speech! 💡 HAD BETTER is present/future! Despite "had" in the name, it refers to now/future "I'd better go" = I should go now (urgent) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎯 USAGE COMPARISON: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ SHOULD (soft advice): 🔹 "You should exercise more" (friendly) OUGHT TO (formal advice): 🔹 "You ought to exercise more" (formal) HAD BETTER (strong/urgent): 🔹 "You'd better exercise or you'll get sick" (warning!) MUST (obligation): 🔹 "You must exercise" (doctor's orders!) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💼 PROFESSIONAL USE: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ BUSINESS EMAILS (prefer SHOULD): 🔹 "You should review the document" 🔹 "We should schedule a meeting" FORMAL WRITING (OUGHT TO acceptable): 🔹 "Companies ought to respect privacy" AVOID HAD BETTER in professional contexts: ❌ "You'd better submit the report" (too threatening!) ✅ "You should submit the report by Friday" ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🗣️ COMMON EXPRESSIONS: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔹 "How should I know?" = I don't know! 🔹 "Why should I?" = questioning obligation 🔹 "I should think so" = I certainly expect so 🔹 "You should have seen it!" = it was amazing 🔹 "What should I do?" = asking for advice ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔗 MODAL VERBS SERIES: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 Episode 4: SHOULD/OUGHT TO ✅ (YOU ARE HERE) 🔜 Episode 5: MAY/MIGHT ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🙏 SUPPORT US: 👍 LIKE 🔔 SUBSCRIBE 💬 COMMENT 📤 SHARE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💡 PRO TIP: Use SHOULD for almost all advice!
