I have just noticed a multiple choice question:
-Amazing! You _______ wear slippers to work.
-Don't you know it's a fashion?
A.might B.should C.could D.would
The key is B and it is explained that the word "should" is used here to show a surprised tone
I know that "should" can be used like this in a sentence like "It is unfair that this should happen to me." but is it really right to be used in the above sentence:?:
some people on the internet says that should can only be used this way in some subordinate clause, while others doesn't give any restrictions and give examples such as “You should lie to me” to mean "I'm surprised that you lied to me" [Is it right:?:]
Could anybody shed me some light on this topic please? Thank you very much!!!
