Should
Se utiliza para dar consejos. Se indica que algo es bueno y por lo

Tambin se utiliza para dar una orden pero de forma muy
educada.

(Se trata realmente de una obligacin -es obligatorio mostrar las

de forma poco coercitiva)
Construccin: este verbo modal va seguido del infinitivo del verbo
principal sin la partcula "to".
Se utiliza en pasado, presente y futuro.
I should have finished my report yesterday (pasado)
You should help me, I can not do it alone (presente)

El pasado se utiliza para indicar algo que se debera haber
hecho y no se hizo.

Aqu se trata de un consejo, mientras que en la anterior era una
obligacin.

la conviccin de que la obligacin va a ser cumplida, mientras que
cuando se utiliza "should" no se sabe si el consejo se va a seguir o
no.
