Should e Must

Duas palavras que podem ser confundidas para quem está aprendendo inglês são: Should e Must, mas com a dica de hoje tenho certeza que você, não mais irá se confundir com essas palavras.
A palavra Should deve ser utilizada quando a intensão é “deveria”, no sentido “seria melhor”.
Exemplos Should:
1- Esta caneta deveria estar com Pedro. / This pen should be with Pedro
2- Você deveria pintar seu cabelo. / You should color your hair
Já o Must, deve ser utilizado no lugar de “deve”, com sentido de obrigatório. Veja os exemplos para entender melhor:
Exemplos Must:
1- Você deve respeitar as regras. / You must respect the laws
2- Devemos fazer silêncio / We must be silent
Vimos aqui a diferença entre Must e Should no inglês e alguns exemplos práticos para fixar o aprendizado
