should |
shouldn't / should not |
We use should when we want to show that:
- something is a good idea.

Should and shouldn’t/ should not are modal verbs and so never change form in the present tense.
We use a verb in the infinitive form, such as do or make after should and shouldn’t/should not.
We can use should in questions to ask for someone’s advice.
