Give suitable adviceقدّم نصيحة مناسبة

The idea, simply

Use should + the base verb for ordinary advice: You should rest. The negative is shouldn’t. For a gentle suggestion, say Why don’t you …? or If I were you, I would …. Had better is stronger and warns of a bad result: You had better hurry. Do not put to after should: say You should talk, not You should to talk.

Examples

• You should talk to your manager about it.

• Why don’t you take a short break?

• You shouldn’t work so late.
