      • Student A: What should I do?
      • Student B: You should rest more and get enough sleep.

Activity 4: Question Practice

  • Provide a list of situations and have students form questions using "should" about each situation.
    • Example:
      • Situation: The weather looks bad.
        • Question: Should we cancel the picnic?
