Soup,
Thanks a lot for your explanation. It really made a difference.
I took the test and for my surprise I only failed one question:
3. Nina said she would come over right after work, so she ______ be here by 6:00.
I answered "might" and the right one seems to be "should".
I don't see why it cannot be "might".
Is it because that's simply the way native speakers are used to say it?
What's your opinion, please?
Thanks.
You're most welcome.
