Exercise 105—Should and Would
Should and would are the past tenses of shall and will and, in general, express the same ideas as do shall and will, except that should sometimes means ought; as,
You should not speak in that way.
Would, also, sometimes indicates an action that occurs frequently; as,
She would often sit at the window all the morning.
The use of should and would in indirect statements and questions is sometimes puzzling. First of all, decide whether shall or will would be used in the direct form of the sentence. If the direct form uses shall, use should in the indirect; if the direct uses will, use would in the indirect; as,
Direct: The market will improve.
