Must is a stronger modal verb than should.
Must has a more serious tone. Should is more gentle.
Example:
You should sleep early.
You must sleep early. – This sounds more serious. It sounds like it is an order/command and you have to do it.
Instead of saying should… we can say ought to.
| Should | Ought to |
|---|---|
| We should go to the cinema. | We ought to go to the cinema. |
| I think Emma should buy a new pair of shoes. | I think Emma ought to buy a new pair of shoes. |
| I should do my homework. | I ought to do my homework. |
| I think Susan should invite me to her party. | I think Susan ought to invite me to her party. |
