Prepositions

Advices/ Should

We continue with the modal verbs and in this case SHOULD. It is a modal verb used to express convenience, for example:

You should study English.

TO VERIFY KNOWLEDGE: Can you give an example?

The modal verb SHOULD also be used to express the probability of something happening in the future, for example:

You have saved a lot of money so you should buy a new car.

TO VERIFY KNOWLEDGE: Can you give an example?

The negative form of the modal verb SHOULD be constructed as follows:

I should not spend all the money.

TO VERIFY KNOWLEDGE: Can you give an example?

And usually we use SHOULD for Healthy:

Headache

Stomachache

Toothache

A cough

A sore throat

A fever

A earache

You know many verbs in present or present continuous, let´s learn about past, and we have two kinds of verbs regular and irregular verbs:

*For regulars verbs you add –ed to the infinitive form of the verb. Example:

Infinitive	Past
Cook	cooked
clean	cleaned
talk	talked
dream	dreamed
travel	traveled
love	loved
dance	danced
visit	visited

*For irregulars verbs there are no rules. Each irregular verb has its own past simple.

Run, cook, sleep, clean, talk, dream, travel, jump, listen, write, love, dance, swim, try, shop, visit, go and eat.

Infinitive	Past
Sleep	slept
write	wrote
swim	swam
try	Tried
go	went

Also we can ask in past too with the auxiliary Did.

Did you write a text?

No, I didn´t

When we use auxiliary did the verb I written in infinitive but if we don´t have “did” the verb has to change.
