标题[Ask ] Rewrite Sentences
时间Thu Jun 13 11:32:08 2019
Hi all, one question about rewriting sentences here please.
"I will stay at home until my mom comes back."
(Use 'should' to replace 'will' in the sentence.)
Is it okay that I say "I should stay at home until my mom comes back."?
Thank you.

1F：推 star123: There's a bit difference here since 'should' does not 06/13 14:34
2F：→ star123: equal to 'will' 06/13 14:34
3F：→ star123: For example, 06/13 14:34
4F：→ star123: 'I should go home, but I will stay here with you.' 06/13 14:34
5F：→ star123: So in the end it all depends on what situation you're 06/13 14:34
6F：→ star123: saying that sentence in 06/13 14:35
7F：→ star123: Considering the meanings of those two words, 'will' 06/13 14:36
8F：推 star123: and 'should', the two sentences you wrote might be 06/13 14:38
9F：→ star123: or be not used in the same way, and situation of the 06/13 14:38
10F：→ star123: conversation makes that difference, but if it's just 06/13 14:39
11F：→ star123: a rewrite without considering that the meanings are 06/13 14:39
12F：→ star123: same or not, grammar-wise, 'should' works. 06/13 14:40
Thank you very much for your explanation. This question is from the textbook
with no answer in it. I do agree with you that context matters. Thank you.
