There are three uses of should and would.
Referring to the present or future, should is often used as
an alternative to shall in connection with requests for
advice or instruction:
'What do you think I should do now? Should I write him a
letter, send him an e-mail, or should I try to phone him up?'
Should is often used to talk about obligation and duty as an
alternative to 'ought to':
'If you are still infectious, you should stay at home. You
shouldn't be out and about, infecting everybody you meet.'
'You really should open a bank account. You shouldn't keep
so much money in the house.'
'People with fierce dogs should keep them on a leash at all
times.'
Should is used after if when a slight possibility is
suggested.
'If you should see her at the anniversary concert, do give
her my best regards.'
'If I should bump into Tony, do you want me to remind him
that he still owes you one hundred pounds?'
