1. Should and would are used as past tense of
shall and will; as,
I said that I would go. (Indirect of I said, "I will
go")
I promised that you should have a reward.
2. Should is used
i) to express duty or obligation:
We should obey our parents.
You should keep your promise.
ii) to express a supposition in a conditional
clause:
If he should come, ask him to wait.
If it should rain, we shall cancel the party.
Note: Should is as less forceful than must.
3. Would is used to express a polite request in a
question form:
Would you lend me your book?
Would you mind coming with me?
Note: 'Would you' is more polite than 'will
you' though both imply the same thing.
