English Verb: To Be
The English verb "to be" is the most common in the English language. It
has three conjugations in the present tense: am, are, is. The verb "to be" can be followed by an adjective, noun, preposition, or
verb.

«To be» es el verbo más típico en inglés y tiene tres conjugaciones en el
presente: am, are, is. Es normalement equivalente a los verbos ser y estar,
pero también se
puede ser igual a tener o hacer. «To be» puede ser seguido de un adjetivo,
un nombre, una preposición o un verbo.

Forum Discussion
Meaning of the subjunctive in EnglishI know that in order to express will or volition, American English doesn't use "should" when British English does. However I would like to know if there is a difference in the meaning of the two formulas. Does "should" soften the willing or the commandment?
