Healthy habits and experience

Should gives advice: “We should eat fruit every day.” Shouldn’t says what not to do: “We shouldn’t eat too much sugar.” Both are followed by the base form and stay the same for every person: I should, he should, they should. Healthy habits: sleep about nine hours, eat fresh vegetables, wash your hands with soap, put on a helmet for cycling and dress warmly in winter. To explain why you are not doing something: “Why aren’t you drawing?” — “I’ve hurt my thumb.” Here I’ve = I have + hurt (the third form of hurt). Brought is the past of bring: “I’ve brought warm clothes.”
