💼 Why it matters at work
Should you ask for help? You might need it. Could you do it alone? These words give advice (should), show what is possible (might), and suggest a choice (could).
should = advice. might = possibility. could = option/suggestion. All + base verb.
Modal + base verb (no to, no -s).
→ You should rest. / It might rain. / You could ask.
should = it’s a good idea; might = it’s possible (maybe); could = a possible option.
Advice: You should check the figures. Possibility: The plan might cost more. Option: You could try again.
