المشاركة الأصلية كتبت بواسطة Mr. ayman (المشاركة 1107308) Sir Using would instead of should is not better; it's absolute since using should is apparently wrong as in Comprehensive English Grammar "It's completely grammatical uncommon using should as the past tense of shall in an error of which readers could have the perplex usage,hence in the way of indirect reporting of shall beware using the opaque unreal usage of shall" regards Mr. Ayman

If so, what do you suggest to use instead of should when reporting shall as it expresses the future

and please tell me
where can I get what you have called Comprehensive English Grammar

Please tell me about reporting must as it expresses obligation
Should we keep it as it is? Should we change it to had to? Or both of them are acceptable

Thanks

المشاركة الأصلية كتبت بواسطة Mr. ayman (المشاركة 1107442) Sir We agree that "must" has many different uses, don't we? Therefore, As for reporting "must" with the meaning of obligation It has both 1- to keep it unchanged if the obligation is still in practice 2- if the obligation has changed with the course of time, then it should be changed into " had to" that's according to what has been tackled in" Focus English Grammar As for most book , they side with the ultimate change That's God knows best Regards

Thank you Mr Ayman
That is a good point of view
you have removed the opaue of reporting must completely
but for student, I think, we should stick to what is mentioned in the student book to not confuse students

Please Mr Ayman
You haven't showed that part yet
You had mentioned that point and didn't explain it
And you haven't said your point of view yet
I'm waiting a clearance from you please

Concerning the book you've mentioned
I have a very bad e-copy of it
please tell me how can I get better one

Thanks
