00:03How to tell the truth in English?
00:07This is a question I often hear in my classes.
00:12And today, I'm going to explain exactly
00:15like English speakers use "real" in English.
00:24If you are looking for truth in the dictionary or in the manual,
00:29You will find OUGHT TO and SHOULD.
00:35So, what's the difference?
00:37OUGHT TO and SHOULD?
00:39You ought to watch this video.
00:42You should watch this video.
00:45It means exactly the same thing.
00:49You need to watch this video.
00:52But OUTH TO?
00:54English speakers?
00:56In Italy it is more OUGHT TO.
01:00Yes, OUGHT TO is Old English.
01:06My grandmother would say OUGHT TO.
01:11My generation, and a lot younger than me,
01:15would say SHOULD.
01:17We use SHOULD.
01:20Not many people use OUGHT TO.
01:24And now, I'm going to explain how to use SHOULD.
01:35OK, to begin with, SHOULD is always followed by the base verb.
01:43Always.
01:44There is no conjugation to be done with the verbs.
01:58We have SHOULD.
02:01We have SHOULD.
02:03And then the verbal base.
02:05DO.
02:05You should eat lots of fruits and vegetables.
02:12You should eat lots of fruits and vegetables.
02:17Again, that's the advice.
02:19It is not mandatory.
02:20It's mandatory.
02:21To do very.
02:22You should.
02:23To do very.
02:32The verb never changes.
02:36It's always the verbal base.
02:38So, it's very simple to use SHOULD.
02:43You should subscribe to this channel.
02:46You should.
02:47You should learn English.
02:51So, this is for the present, for the council.
02:53You should.
02:54You should.
02:54You should.
02:55Plus, the verbal base.
02:57Very simple indeed.
02:59In the negative case, SHOULD can be used.
03:03This time, SHOULD NOT.
03:06Or, the contraction, SHOULDN'T.
03:10Both are possible.
03:12You shouldn't do that.
03:15You shouldn't do that.
03:17You shouldn't smoke.
03:22You shouldn't go to the party.
03:24You shouldn't go to the party.
03:27You shouldn't go to the party.
03:30Exactly the same.
03:37This second question is common.
03:39Can I use SHOULD in the future?
03:46First, I will, should, or I am going to, should, does not exist.
03:53But, we can use SHOULD for the future.
03:59Simply, we use an expression of time.
04:03Something like tomorrow.
04:07Next year.
04:09Next summer.
04:11With an expression of time.
04:13Like that.
04:14We can use SHOULD for the future.
04:17Some examples.
04:19You SHOULD go to Paris next year.
04:24You SHOULD go to Paris next year.
04:32We had SHOULD plus the verbal base.
04:36And then, we simply put an expression of time at the end.
04:41You SHOULD go to Paris next year.
04:44You SHOULD do your homework tomorrow.
04:47Tomorrow.
04:49We see, it is in the future.
04:52But we haven't changed any conjugation.
04:56That the verb stays in its base form.
05:01We simply have SHOULD plus the verb, plus an expression of time.
05:09And that is SHOULD, should, for the future.
05:20Is it possible to use SHOULD in the past?
05:26Yes, it is.
05:28It is a little more complicated.
05:34But it's not too bad.
05:36Let's have a look.
05:38OK.
05:39This time, we use SHOULD plus HAVE plus the verb in its past participle form.
05:53You SHOULD have done your homework.
05:59We're talking in the past.
06:02Because we have SHOULD, we have HAVE, and we have the past participant.
06:08Done.
06:09You SHOULD have done your homework.
06:12We can also use this in the negative.
06:19You SHOULDN'T have eaten that pizza.
06:26You SHOULDN'T have eaten that pizza.
06:32Okay.
06:34We have SHOULDN'T, plus HAVE, plus the past participle of the verb.
06:44Now you know exactly how to tell the truth in English.
06:49A little summary time.
06:51Let's have a look.
06:53The present, we say SHOULD, plus the verb in its base form.
07:00For the present in the negative, SHOULD NOT, plus the base verb, or SHOULDN'T, plus the base verb.
07:11For the future, we simply use SHOULD, plus the base verb, plus an expression of TIME at the end.
07:22And then, for the past, we use SHOULD, plus our auxiliary verb HAVE, plus the verb in its past participle
07:38form.
07:40I hope this video helped you with SHOULD.
07:46Please don't use OUGHT TO.
07:50Us English speakers, we don't use that any more.
