🔰MUST and SHOULD🔰

✍🏻The difference between MUST and SHOULD

👉🏻Must' and 'should' are both modal verbs.

✍🏻MUST is used when expressing obligation or an unavoidable requirement,

✍🏻whereas SHOULD is more of a recommendation, or simply a desirable goal.

🔰MUST

✍🏻Similar to 'have to' strong obligation.

👉🏻You must abide by the law.

👉🏻You must not smoke indoors, it's illegal.

🔰SHOULD

✍🏻SHOULD is similar to 'ought to’ a suggestion

👉🏻You should try to get some sleep; it's very late, and you have to do a lot of work tomorrow.

👉🏻You shouldn't be so close friend with Hamid, he's just helping you improve your grammar.

We will be keeping you updated.

We asked our OET Experts for some common mistakes made in the Writing sub-test. Are you guilty of these top three?

1) Using ‘rule out’ to mean ‘confirm’

Rule out means to eliminate or exclude something which is impossible. However, sometimes people make the mistake of switching the meaning around.

Example

• The case notes say: pneumonia – ruled out (X-ray).

• The letter written by the student reports: The patient has pneumonia.

In the example above, the X-ray reveals the patient does not have pneumonia i.e. the exact opposite of what the student wrote.

1) Using ‘complaint’ instead of ‘compliant’

This mistake might be because of a typo as the spelling of the two words is very similar.

Example

• The case notes say: medication – taking regularly as per instructions.

• The letter written by the student reports: the patient is complaint with their medication.

This sentence gives the suggestion that the patient is unhappy with their medication because of the misspelling. With the correct spelling, the sentence would explain that the patient is taking their medication correctly.

1) Using ‘advice’ instead of ‘advise’

This mistake could also be because of a typo but more commonly because the student is not familiar that one is a noun and the other a verb

Example

• The case notes say: smoking – methods to quit discussed.

• The letter written by the student reports: The patient was adviced to quit smoking.

Here, it should be a verb ‘was advised’ to be grammatically accurate.

Make sure you keep an eye out for these common errors when you’re writing! For more preparation tips, make sure you check out the OET Preparation Portal.

Important lessons to Read Read

Words we always use even though they add no meaning or value to a sentence are called crutch words. For example, in the sentence “Then I was like, OMG, then like, he went there, and like…” it is pretty obvious that “like” is the crutch word. “Actually,” “honestly,” and “basically” are also commonly used as crutch words.

Know the meaning of the word
