Answer 11

Should - means that it is advisable.  It's a recommendation.

Shall - means that it is needed.  You must/you will.

Answer 12

Should implies an action that would be beneficial, not that the action will actually be done.

Shall means the action will be performed.

In your example: should allows the board member to object to appearing at the meeting as it is not required merely suggested

while shall means the meeting cannot be held unless 2/3 of the people are present no excuses.

shall is mandatory ( no option)

Answer 14

Should means It would be best to be that and shall means it is going to be that

Answer 15

Should - Advisable, recommended

Shall - Compulsory, obligatory, manadatory, for sure

Answer 16

Should is subjective and open to extenuating circumstances. Shall is a mandate and leaves no room to play.

Answer 17

Well, I think the difference is that when 'should' is used, it's not definitely going to happen, and is almost like a recommendation, but a bit more forceful than that, and shall is something that will happen. Both of these are in the future tense I believe.

Answer 18

should is a suggestion whereas shall is an order.

P.S. Do your own homework..........

Answer 19

Should is a word meaning what would be best, or what would commonly be agreed upon as what ought to be done.

Shall is like will.  Shall says that that is what's going to happen, regardless.

So should is ambiguous, but shall is concrete.
