o (modern) A variant of would.  Usage notes
• Should has, as its mostcommon meaning in modern English, the sense ought as in I should go, but I don't see how I can. However, the older sense as the subjunctive of the future indicative auxiliary,shall, is often used with I or we to indicate a more polite form than would: I should like to go, but I can't. In much speech and writing, shouldhas been replaced by would incontexts of this kind, but it remains in conditional subjunctives: should (never would) I go, I should wear my new dress.
• (obligation): Contrast with stronger auxiliary verbmust, which indicates that the subject is required to execute the predicate.
• (likely): Contrast with stronger auxiliary verb must, which indicates that the subject certainlywill execute the predicate.
• See the usage notes at shall.
