過去簡單式

Last time in our drama Anne got a letter from her brother...

... telling her that they doesn't want her to look for him.

Today Anne gets advice from a professor about what she should do.

If I were you, I'd report your brother missing.

Should I tell my parents about the letter?

I think you should tell them what you know.

Why don't you advertise in the newspaper?

Put a photograph of your brother there. Somebody might recognise him.

So Anne will keep looking for her brother.

The professor Gram told Anne some things she could do to find her brother.

Telling people things in this way is called giving advice...

Let's listen to the advice Gram gives Anne.

Gram makes it clear that this is his openion by saying 'I think'.

It's what he thinks is the best thing to do.

What other word that he uses that shows that he is giving advice?

We use 'should' to give advice or make suggestions.

Try saying 'I think you should go to the police' with him.

'Ought to' has the same meaning as 'should'.

We use it for things we think are good or right to do.

What word do you use for things that are wrong to do?

The opposite of 'should' is 'shouldn't' or 'should not'.

We use it to advice against doing things ...

We can also use 'should' in questions if we're asking for advice.

Know that when we ask a question 'should' comes before the pronoun -- words like 'I' and 'you'.

When you say 'should' after a pronoun ...

... such as 'I' -- 'I should tell my parents'...

... saying what you think is a right thing to do.

... asking if that is the right thing to do.

Again Gram gives his advice in the same way.

Now it's your turn to give me some advice.

Should Anne keep looking for her brother?

I think Anne should keep looking for her brother.

Gram suggests some ways that Anne can keep looking.

This is not a question he wants an answer to.

It's a way of offering a suggestion or an idea.
