Polite English: Modals for Advice – SHOULD, MUST, HAVE TO…
Learn to use the modals ‘should’, ‘must’, and ‘have to’ to give and ask for advice in English. In English, it’s actually rare for us to use direct imperatives. It sounds impolite and aggressive. We use modals to soften our requests, suggestions, and commands. Watch this important lesson to learn exactly how to use modals for advice. We’ll also cover some expressions, such as “you shouldn’t have”.
