Modals for Advice

Might want to is more polite and less direct than should, ought to, and had better.Try it out with your partner.

Use maybe, probably, or I think with should and ought to soften the advice.Maybe we should turn off our phones before class.We should probably turn off our phones now.I think we should turn off our phones

Try them out with your partner. Use “why don’t we” to make suggestions softly and

politely.Why don’t we study together before the test?
