Have you ever filled out forms? What are they?

Where can we find form in our daily life?

Brainstorming
Honesty can be reflected in a simple action, such as filing in account opening
form and other forms in bank. When you are filling in the form, you are
required to be true and honest since signing the form means not only
accountability but also legal responsibility.
In human relations, honesty truly is the best policy. It is seen as the
foundation of any well-working relationship whether it is with parents,
friends, or anyone else. Being honest in human relations can be done by
telling others the truth of their obligation without giving any offense.

 B. Expressing Obligation
Expressing Obligation by ‘Should’
Should is modal verb used for obligation. It can be used for present,
future, and event. Should is followed by the bare infinitive.
1. Should + Present Infinitive
a. It can be used to express the subject’s obligation on duty.
Example: • You should save some money.
• You should give my pen back.
b. Should can be used as an expression of obligation in formal notices
or information.
Example: • Candidates should be prepared to answer the questions
from the judges.

 2. Should + Continuous Infinitive
It is used to express the idea that the subject is not fulfilling his
obligations or that he/she is acting foolishly, not acting sensibly

and prudently.
Example: • They should be studying in the class right now.
• That man should be wearing helmet.
In this form, auxiliary verb is needed. Auxiliary is a kind of verb used to
help to form a tense or an expression, hence the name. They combine
with present or pas participle or with infinitives to form the tenses of
ordinary verb.

The most used auxiliary verbs are the verbs to be (am, is, are, was, were,
being, been), to do (does, do, did, doing) and to have (has, have, had,
having). Since modal verb, in this case ‘should’, is used, then the form of
auxiliary verb is be.

3. Should + Perfect Infinitive
This rule is used to express an unfulfilled obligation or a sensible
neglected action. In negative sentence, it expresses a wrong or foolish
action in past.
Example: • You should have stopped at the traffic light.
• We should not have played in pouring rain yesterday.
