Speak Politely With Should Probably
hi i’m vanessa from speak english with
vanessa calm today i want to tell you
about an expression that will help you
to be more polite let’s get started a
word that i hear English learners using
a lot is should I should study English
more you should come visit Brazil you
should I should and the word should is
great it’s a great word to note and in
some cases it is perfectly fine to
simply say should but I want to tell you
that maybe it could be more polite in
certain situations to say should
probably should probably now I want to
give you several examples so that you
can feel comfortable using should
probably in your own conversations the
first example is about studying English
I should probably study English more I
should probably study English more if
you said I should study English more
it’s very strong it sounds like if I
don’t study English more I will die I
should study more but should probably is
a little lighter it means you know what
it would help my life if I study more
it’s not the end of the world if I don’t
study English more but I should probably
do it there’s a little bit of
uncertainty because you’re used probably
so it’s a little more polite another
example is I should probably not have
eaten five pieces of pizza I should
probably not have eaten five pieces of
pizza maybe I have a stomachache now
maybe I don’t feel very well I should
probably not have eaten five pieces of
Pizza it’s a little bit more polite than
I should not have eaten five pieces of
pizza probably makes it a little bit
more casual a little bit more
comfortable for conversation another
example is my friends should probably be
coming over around now my friend should
probably be coming over around now this
means they’re almost going to be here
they’re almost at my house I think
they’ll probably come over around this
time should probably so now I have a
question for you
what should you probably be doing what
should you probably not be doing should
probably write a sentence below this
video in the comments with the
expression should probably or should
probably not and I’ll look at it and
help to give you some feedback and maybe
other English learners will give you
some feedback as well thanks so much and
I’ll talk to you later good bye
