Yes, you can. To ask for advice or a suggestion, you put should<\/span> at the beginning of the question. For example, \"Should I bring a gift?\"<\/span> \u0438\u043b\u0438 \"What should I do?\"<\/span><\/p>\nIs should used for the past?<\/h3>\n
At A2 level, we use should<\/span> for advice about the present or future.
