Do you agree?
Discussion
What you...
could do
should do
must do
to overcome them?
Should
Would
Could
To ask ‘who’, ‘what’, ‘where’, ‘when’, ‘why’ or ‘how’ (not always, but often)
“How would you do that?”
To make a polite request
“Would you like any tea?”
In hypothetical situations
“I would love to buy a boat one day.”
To ask questions
“Would you like fries or salad?”
To express something that is probable
“He should be bringing Jennifer with him.
To ask questions
“Should we turn left at this street?”
To show obligation, give recommendation or even an opinion
Examples:
“You should stop eating fast food.”
To suggest a possibility
“Could ‘A’ be the answer? It’s definitely not ‘B’ or ‘D.’”
To make a polite request
“Could you please move this box?”
Using the word ‘could’ to respond to the requests we made in the last example would suggest that you could do it, but you might not really want to. If you agree to the request, then you use the word ‘can’.
“Could you please move this box?” “I could, but I am really busy right now.”
“Could you please pass that paper.” “Sure, I can.”
Grammar
Must
To talk about something we need to do. (In this case, you can also use HAVE TO)
"I must give this report to my boss tomorrow."
To show we are fairly sure of the reason behind something.
"The cookies are missing. Lais must have eaten them."
In the opposite situation, we use ‘couldn’t’ or ‘can’t’ instead of ‘mustn’t’.
"The cookies are missing, but Lais couldn't have eaten them all, she's on a diet."
