Verbos Modais/Modal verbs - Questões resolvidas sobre MODAL VERBS - VALDENOR SOUSA.

• SHOULD:

So what I want you to do right now is share with us and tell us, what do you think, what should you do to improve your english skills, I want to hear from you guys right now tell me what should you do to improve your english skills.

So, we can use it to ask questions but in my opinon I think it's used commonly to ask rhetorical questions.

Rhetorical questions (riThôrikôu-Kúésthiãs) are questions that 

- Should I do this?!!

- Should I do that?!!

- Why should I vote?

I'm not really expecting anybody to respond and give me answer, it's just something I asked to myself.

• SHOULD:(to express things likely to happen)

In CAMBRIDGE DICTIONARY: Should(probable) is used to show when something is likely or expected.

So uhhh we can use should to express things that are likeky to happen.(thu-êksPréssTêns-déróLáikli-thuRépén)

For example:

- He should be here by now!

Where you're waiting for somebody to show up, to arrive and you might say well he should be here by now.

Remember, I told you, we could use the simple present to talk about something that will happen in the immediate future like "the plane arrives Monday" or "the plane arrives at night", it's the simple present.

- The plane should arrive tomorrow!(dêPlêin-xuráRáiv-thuMórôu)

- Now if you're using "should" it means(xûRêtMíns) like well maybe maybe it's not going to arrive, it should arrive but maybe it won't it(bát-Mêibiuõntch).

- The party should start(dêPóri-xud'sTórt), the party should start at 9 o'clock(éNáin'ó'klók).

That is great example and a way that it's commonly used.(dárêzêiGrêi-êguiZémpôu-uêi-dêRêtsK-kõmêmli-íuz), because people will schedule a party but sometimes they well most of the time, the start later than people tell you so but somebody might say well yeah it should start at 9:00 and that way, you know, like okay it's probably not going to start at that time:

- I should show up a little later so I don't get there too early.

Another example:

- Yess, I should follow you to improve my learning skills.

So, perfect, excelent use of should.

- Everyone should do to improve their skills, practice their listening, practice their speaking, you can watch movies, read books I think is another great way to improve your skills.

• WOULD:

• We talked about "would" with those questions WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, WHY, HOW, "What would you like to do?", "Where would you like to go?","Why would you like to learn English?". 

We also use "would" to ask questions "Would you please help me?", again, that's another great way to be polite "Would you please anything do something?" and finally, "would" is used with if in conditional sentence, in a hypothetical situation, If we're talking about conditionals "If I were you I would prefer to stay home", "If I were you I would prefer to go to the movies", "If I were you I would go home right now"; We can also use "would" to make a polite request "I would like a glass of water", We can also use "would" to show a wish ou desire "I would like to relax".

•

 WOULD COM (WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, WHY, HOW)

We use would when we're ask questions and using WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, WHY, HOW.(rru-uá-ué-uên-uáiRRáu)

We commonly hear "would" used with these W questions(íuzd-uêtêdiz-Dábliu-kúesthiãs) even though "how" is not a w but we use it all the time with these questions.

So for example I would ask you maybe a question(Éskiu-Mêibiakuésthiã):

- What would you like to do today?(uâ-údhiuLáik-thudju-thudêi)

That would be a question.(dét-ûdbiaKúésthiã)

And my question to you I have a question uhh well I didn't put "today" in there I said "what would you like to do?".

My question to you is:

- What would you like to do?

- What would you like to do tomorrow?

Tomorrow is Sunday

- What would you like to do on Sunday?(uâ-údhiuLáik-thudju-õnSãndêi)

- I would like to go swimming.

- I would like to read a book.

• WOULD:(to ask question: WOULD YOU PLEASE...)

We also use "would" as you can tell same with these other modal verbs to ask questions.

We use "would" to ask questions and again it's polite.

- Would you please help me?

I think this is a great phrase to learn "would you please...?".

"Would you please...?" any time that you want to be polite, and it's very important if you're at school or for a job , for work , to use this phrase "Would you please...?" and then you could ask somebody, you know, what do you want them to do, you're making your request, you're asking a question.

- Would you please do this...

- Would you please do that...

It is a great great great great phrase to learn.(gruêi-gruêi-gruêi-gruêiFrêis-thuLõrn)

• WOULD:(a hypothetical situation)

A hypothetical situation(êi-rráipôThérikôl-sithuÊIxen).

If I were you I would do the practice at the end of the lesson.(êfáiôiú-áiûdju-dêPráktêss-éthiénd-óvdêLéssen)

Now you might be, it's a hypothetical situation,  and you might looking at that and you know that OH okay that is a conditional sentence(kãDêxênól-100tens).

So we use "would" with conditionals(uêf-kãDêxênóss), with the second conditional and the third conditional.(uêFdê-Sékên'kãDêxênól-endâ-Tôrd'kãndêxênól)

Truth be told we have some very very very super awesome lessons on conditionals.

So an example(sô'êNêguiZêmpôl-Íuzên), using the third conditional, again the conditional would be the past perfect, okay:(dêkãnDêxênól-udbí-dâ'pássPôrféktchi)

- If I had gotten up earlier today I would have started this post sooner.(êFái-rréd-Gâten'ûp-ôrliôr'thudêi-áiÚriRRév-sTórêd-dêsPôst-Sûnôr)(êFáirréri-GárênNáp-ôrliôr'thudêi)

So again, we're using "would plus have" and "plus the past participle"(plásdêPést-PárêSêpôl)

But again, I don't want to get into the grammar, you guys can check out that post a little later.

• WOULD:(to make a polite request and to show a wish or desire.)

We use "would" to make a polite request and to show a wish or desire.

You would use it to make a polite request because instead of saying(bikóz-insTérov100) "I want" you say "I would like".

I think I would ask you guys to take "I want" and almost just get rid of it, all right.(áiFênk-áiûld-ÉskiuGáis-thutêik-ái'uãtch-enNólMôusDjôs-Guét-ridóVêt).

It's so much more polite(êtsôu-mátchmô'póLáitch), it's so much better to just say(êtsô-mátchBérô-thudjiSêi) "I would like".

I think it, you know, even you're talking to your friends, your family, your teachers, at work, it's so universal, it's good just to say, you know, I would like, I would like, I would like.

- I would like of glass of water!

You're making a polite request.

And the last one is to show a wish or desire.

- What would you like?

What is your wish? What is your desire?

I gave you that example sentence kind of comparing two things.(kãi9-kãPéurén-thuFêns)

- I would rather go on vacation than go to work.

I think most of us would agree, most of you would agree with that sentence.

It's showing a wish, showing a desire.

What would you like to do tomorrow?

- I would like to go shopping.

- I would like to go swimming.

- I would like to travel to another city.

- I would like to hang out with my friends tomorrow.

- I would like to thank you for your great posts.

- I would not like to work tomorrow.

- If I were you, I would cook lunch at home instead of going to the restaurant.

- That is a great example of the second conditional and using would.
