Should and Shouldn't - Use

We use should and shouldn't to give advice or to talk about what we think is right or wrong. You should means something like I think it is a good idea for you to do it. You shouldn't means something like I think it is a bad idea for you to do it. Should is used to express the opinion of a speaker and often follows I thinkor I don't think. Examples: You look tired. I think you should take a few days off. Alice works very long hours. She should talk to her boss.      - I have an English test tomorrow.      - I shouldn't worry if I were you. You have worked really hard.      - I never have enough money.      - I don't think you should go out so much.

Instead we use don't have to or don't need to.
