Use of should and could in Hindi


Key Concepts and Their Translation in Hindi Language

In English, we use "should" and "could" to express advice, suggestions, and possibilities. In Hindi, "should" translates to "चाहिए" (chahiye) and "could" translates to "सकते" (sakte).

Usage Examples and Translations

1. You should study for the exam.

आपको परीक्षा के लिए पढ़ाई करनी चाहिए।


2. We could go to the park tomorrow.

हम कल पार्क जा सकते हैं।


3. She should eat more vegetables.

उसे अधिक सब्जियाँ खानी चाहिए।


4. They could help us with the project.

वे हमें प्रोजेक्ट में मदद कर सकते हैं।


Key Mistakes

1. Confusing "should" with "could": "Should" is for advice, while "could" is for possibilities. For example, saying "You could study" is less strong than "You should study."

2. Using "should" for past situations: "Should" is not used for things that did not happen in the past. Instead of saying "You should have gone," it is better to say "You could have gone."

3. Forgetting to use the correct form: Remember that "should" is always followed by the base form of the verb, like "should eat," not "should eats."

Understanding these concepts will help you use "should" and "could" correctly in English!
