Modal verb "should"

We say should do something / shouldn't do something when we recommend or do not recommend to do that, when we express that it is a good or a bad idea to do that. "Should" is less strict than "must", it is a recommendation and not an obligation.

Remember: should + infinitive

We often say
I think ... should …
I don’t think … should …
Do you think … should…?
