§Grammar and usage

Should + base form for advice and duty ('You should study daily'); should have + past participle (criticism of a past action that did not happen: 'You should have told me'); should after suggest, recommend, insist, demand, propose and important or necessary ('I suggest that she should apply'; British English often keeps should, while the subjunctive 'that she apply' is also correct); 'lest ... should' ('Walk carefully lest you should fall'); inverted conditional ('Should you need help, call me' = 'If you need help').

यह बहुत पूछा जाता है: सलाह और कर्तव्य के लिए should + base form ('You should study daily'); should have + past participle (अतीत के न हुए कार्य की आलोचना: 'You should have told me'); suggest, recommend, insist, demand, propose और important या necessary के बाद should ('I suggest that she should apply'; British English प्रायः should रखती है, जबकि subjunctive 'that she apply' भी सही है); 'lest ... should' ('Walk carefully lest you should fall'); inverted conditional ('Should you need help, call me' = 'If you need help')।
