In a lot of situations in our daily lives we need to give advice to someone to do something or avoid something . In English we can provide advice in many ways.
Our lesson today is about this topic since we will review several ways to provide advice both is mandatory formula or nice method .
First we have to know the difference between advice and order .
If we want to direct a certain order to someone in English then we use the infinitive alone and this is a sharp and blunt way for example :
Stand up Drink Sleep
But giving advices has its own ways . In this lesson we'll get to know them by examples
1-Should
Should be used for suggesting or non- mandatory advice and is considered one of the most flexible and nice formulas for examples :
✔ You should eat a lot of vegetables and fruits
✔ You should drink milk for breakfast
✔ Hana should take her medicine on time
✔ They should sleep early
We need to know ( Should ) can comes with singular and collect and the verb comes after it without any additions
| Should + Infinitive |
Negative ( Should not )
Used to stop doing something wrong
for examples :
✔ She shouldn't talk to her teacher that way
✔ The babies shouldn't go out in this bad weather
Request advice using should :
Also we can use ( Should ) to request the advice and in this case put
(should ) at the beginning for the question as a question tool .
for examples :
✔ Should I apply for that job ?-
2-Had better
Also we can give advice by ( had better ) but, it's more severe formula, and it tends to be threatening and promising .
For examples :
✔ You had better watch out for the teacher's explanation
✔ You had better hear your parent's advices
✔ She had better go to her grandpa
✔ They had better speak lowly
| Had better + Infinitive |
Negative ( Had better not )
We can also use the negative formula to terminate and prohibit
For example :
✔ You had better not enter this room again
✔ She had better not get louder than her father
3-Must
It also uses in English for advice but mandatory which should do it to avoid the consequences
for examples :
✔ You must take a good rest
✔ She must wash her hands well
✔ They must call me today
| Must + Infinitive |
Negative ( Mustn't )
Used to stop doing something to avoid the consequences :
✔ She mustn't bully her friend
✔ You mustn't eat lots chocolate
✔ He mustn't go out today
4- Have to
It's form of mandatory advice that doesn't give space for choice
for examples :
✔ You have to keep your room clean
✔ Sara have to finish her duties
And with that We finished our lesson today and explained a few different ways to give advice and we go to know every single way .
