[Ask ] Rewrite Sentences

[JackXD (鴿子鳥)]

Hi all, one question about rewriting sentences here please.

"I will stay at home until my mom comes back."

(Use 'should' to replace 'will' in the sentence.)

Is it okay that I say "I should stay at home until my mom comes back."?

Thank you.

推 star123: There's a bit difference here since 'should' does not
→ star123: equal to 'will'
→ star123: For example,
→ star123: 'I should go home, but I will stay here with you.'
→ star123: So in the end it all depends on what situation you're
→ star123: saying that sentence in
→ star123: Considering the meanings of those two words, 'will'
推 star123: and 'should', the two sentences you wrote might be
→ star123: or be not used in the same way, and situation of the
→ star123: conversation makes that difference, but if it's just
→ star123: a rewrite without considering that the meanings are
→ star123: same or not, grammar-wise, 'should' works.

Thank you very much for your explanation. This question is from the textbook
with no answer in it. I do agree with you that context matters. Thank you.
