Hi Tingyu Here is some information to help you understand the uses of “will - would”, “can - could” and “shall - should”. Best Regards.

“WILL” is a modal auxiliary verb, which describes an action that is expected to take place in the future. It modifies many verbs in their future tenses. "Will" is an auxiliary modal verb, which only portrays explicit future actions and showcases someone’s intention of doing something in the future. In certain contexts, WILL and WOULD are virtually INTERCHANGEABLE, but there are differences. “Will” can be used to express willingness; intention (especially in the first person) and prediction “WOULD” is a modal verb and is used in conditionals and for invitations, requests, asking permission, talking about preferences and making arrangements. “Would” is sometimes used as past tense of ‘will’.

CAN Can and could - Both these verbs indicate ability in some respect. The use of could is usual in clauses that contain a reference to past time. “COULD” can be used to express possibility but with a slightly different connotation from “CAN” “CAN” shows ability – We can have it. “COULD” shows possibility (likely to be true or to happen ) – We could have it. “COULD” is used to express possibility. Something that could happen is not necessarily something that must happen. Could does not express desire or opinion. “Could” is a modal verb and is used in conditionals

SHALL “Shall” and “Should” are both auxiliaries as well as anomalous finites ‘Shall’ is a modal verb that accompanies first, second, and third-person pronouns and forms a future tense. When used in the second and third-person form, ‘shall’ is used to propose deterministic viewpoints and opinions. ‘Shall’ tells us that an event is going to occur with certainty, while ‘Should’ just assures us that it might happen.

SHOULD ‘Should’ can be used: To express something that is probable To ask questions To show obligation, give recommendation or even an opinion Simple past tense of shall To express condition

Dear Meera, In this case we would use the INFINITIVE:

He always refuses to obey rules.

We use "to obey" rather than "obeying" because of the verb REFUSE.

In English some verbs are always followed by the infinitive. REFUSE is one of these. Other verbs are always followed by the gerund (example ENJOY), and still others can be followed by the infinitive or the gerund (with some differences in the meaning).

In very general terms (with lots of exceptions) we can say that many of the verbs that are followed by** the infinitive** bear some relation to a future plan or proposition, while many of the verbs that are followed by the gerund carry the idea of 'living / going through' an experience.

For example, the verb REMEMBER. It can be followed by an infinitive or a gerund, but with a difference in meaning:

Infinitive example: Tomorrow is a very important occasion. Remember to go to the store and buy the wedding cake! In this case, the emphasis is on a plan / proposition, so we use the infinitive (remember to go).

Gerund example: I used to love spending time with my Grandpa. I remember going to the park with him to feed the ducks. Here the emphasis is on a memory of a lived experience we went through, so we use a gerund (remember going)

We also generally use an infinitive after using an adjective: I'm so happy to meet you! The hotel was not difficult to find. The club was so full it was impossible to get in. etc.

And we generally use a gerund after a preposition (except "to"): I'm fond of eating chocolate. I can't survive without talking to my friends. She is crazy **about **meeting you. etc.

I hope this helped.

Hello there!

The word 'sang' in the sentence is an intransitive verb.

An intransitive verb is a verb that does not need a direct object to complete its meaning. For example, The students 'laughed' happily.

A transitive verb needs a direct object to complete its meaning. It always comes before the object.

For example, The goat 'ate' the yam. In this case, 'the yam' is the direct object, and 'ate' is the transitive verb.
