Изучаем English Unit 34. Should 2.
Unit 34; Part A
You can use should after a number of verbs, especially:demand insist propose recommend suggest
• They insisted that we should have dinner with them.
• I demanded that he should apologise.
• What do you suggest I should do?
• I insist that something should be done about the problem.
We also say 'It's important / vital / necessary / essential that ... should ...':
• It's essential that everyone should be here on time.
Unit 34; Part B
You can also leave out should in all the sentences in Section A:• It's essential that everyone be here on time. (= that everyone should be here)
• I demanded that he apologise. (= that he should apologise)
• What do you suggest I do?
• I insist that something be done about the problem.
This form (be/do/have/apologise etc.) is sometimes called the subjunctive. It is the same as the infinitive (without to).
You can also use normal present and past tenses:
• It's essential that everyone is here on time.
• I demanded that he apologised.
After suggest, you cannot use to ... ('to do / to buy' etc.). You can say:
• What do you suggest we should do?
or What do you suggest we do? (but not What do you suggest us to do?)
• Jane suggested that I (should) buy a car.
or Jane suggested that I bought a car. (but not Jane suggested me to buy)
You can also use -ing after suggest: What do you suggest doing? See Unit 53.
Unit 34; Part C
You can use should after a number of adjectives, especially:strange odd funny typical natural interesting surprised surprising
• It's strange that he should be late. He's usually on time.
• I was surprised that he should say such a thing.
Unit 34; Part D
If ...should ...You can say 'If something should happen ...' . For example:
• If Tom should phone while I'm out, tell him I'll call him back later.
'If Tom should phone' is similar to 'If Tom phones'. With should, the speaker feels that the possibility is smaller. Another example:
• We have no jobs at present. But if the situation should change, we'll let you know.
You can also begin these sentences with should (Should something happen ...):
• Should Tom phone, tell him I'll call him back later.
Unit 34; Part E
You can use I should ... /I shouldn't ... to give somebody advice. For example:• 'Shall I leave now?' 'No, I should wait a bit longer.' Here, I should wait = I would wait if I were you, I advise you to wait. Two more examples:
• 'I'm going out now. Is it cold?' 'Yes, I should wear a coat.'
• I shouldn't stay up too late. You'll be tired tomorrow.
