After a long night with sleepless I woke up late and feel a little tired. However, I should do what I have planed. I should try to get habits of doing them.
Today word is SHOULD. Should in the most popular way is a suggestion or advice to do or not to do (shouldn't) something. For example: You should know my love is for real [Can't let you go - Tokyo square].
We usually use should with I think, I don't think or do you think. For example: Do you think I should apply for this job? Yes, I think you should apply for it.
Should have done and shouldn't have done are used for the past. Should have done is something you were better to do it. For example: I am exhausted. I should have gone to bed early last night * It was a good job. I should have applied for it.
Shouldn't have done is something you did but it was wrong to do it. For example: Bernadette: Sheldon, I know to night is the night you eat Thai food . I went to the Asian market, got all ingredients and made it from scratch. Sheldon: You shouldn't have. Bernadette: It was my pleasure. Sheldon: No, you really shouldn't have, I bought my own [Big Bang Theory - season 6 - The closet reconfiguration]
Let's compare them with needn't have done. Needn't have done talks about something you did but it was not necessary to do it [you realize after]. They seem to be the same but sometimes they are unchangeable. For example: I feel sick. I shouldn't have eaten so much [in this context if we say I needn't have eaten so much - it is not appropriate]* You should have told me that he had already understood before I taught him that problem. I needn't have explained to him so detailed. * I should have known that he had been ill before he took the exam. I shouldn't have criticized him like that.
Should also talks about expectations. For example: She is preparing hard for the examination. She should pass it.
Should, must and have to talk about something that is necessary to do. However, should is less necessary than must and have to. For example: Although you don't have work tomorrow, you should go to bed early. It's a healthy habit. * I have to go bed early because I work tomorrow * This game is the last chance for MU so that they must win to advance to knock-out stage. * MU should win this game to ensure their firs place.
