Hi rahuldhoble,

it'd be much easier if you gave some context, otherwise it's a neverending story.

Apart from providing some context, you can have a look at this summary.


Scenario is like :
" Can we meet this sunday ? I Would/Could/Should prefer 12:00 PM on sunday ."

What is correct word in above statement ?

"Would" is correct. "Should" is not wrong, but it's archaic.
