Ought to is possible instead of should:

It’s really a good film. You ought to go and see it.

  • Should is also used to say that something will probably happen:

A: Do you think you’ll be late home tonight?
B: I don’t think so. I should be home at the usual time. (=I’ll probably be home)

  • If something should happen means If something happens. You can use both structure. But with should the speaker is less certain:

If you should see Tom this evening, can you tell him to phone me?

You can also begin with should (before the subject) :


Should you see Tom this evening, can you tell him to phone me?

  • You can use should after these verbs:

suggest propose recommend insist demand
They insisted that we should have dinner with them.= They insisted that we had dinner with them.

  • You can use should after these adjectives:

important strange funny natural surprised essential odd typical interesting surprising
It’s strange that he should be late. He’s usually on time.
I was surprised that he should say such a thing.
