English practice (5th assignment)
Course: 5th year (todos los 5tos TM / TT)
Teachers: Cecilia de la Cruz – Silvana Contreras
Student´s name: …………………………………………….
En el práctico anterior estuvimos trabajando con adjetivos en grado comparativo y superlativo.
Hoy veremos el uso del verbo modal “should” para dar consejos.
Como todos los verbos modales, “should” se usa con todas las personas es decir que no
importa el sujeto, y siempre va seguido de un verbo en infinitivo.
Example: I should go. He should go. (cada oración tiene un sujeto diferente. Sin embargo
hemos usado should en ambas). (El verbo que está después de should está en infinitivo).
Should significa “debería” y se puede usar en forma afirmativa, negativa e interrogativa.
Affirmative form
I/you/he/she/it/we/you/they should do more exercise. (debería/deberíamos etc hacer
más ejercicio)
Negative form
I/you/he/she/it/we/you/they shouldn´t run. (no debería /deberíamos etc correr)
Interrogative form
Should I/you/he/she/it/we/you/they go to the party?
Yes, I/you/he/she/it/we/you/they should.
No, I/you/he/she/it/we/you/they shouldn´t.
