TOEIC Grammar Lesson - How To Use Should In Conditional Sentences

How do we use SHOULD in conditional sentences?

There are a variety of English grammar patterns that are tested on the TOEIC® exam. Questions about conditionals often appear in Part V and Part VI.  In very formal English, should can replace if in a conditional sentence.

The grammar is should followed by a subject and verb

• Should the screen freeze, try restarting the computer. This has the same meaning as, “If the screen freezes, try restarting the computer.”
• Should you need any help, feel free to call me.
• Should anyone call for Ms. Gilmour, I will let them know that she is in a meeting.
• Should the flight take of late, I'll call you

👉 Keep in mind the best way to remember this grammar or any grammar or vocabulary in English is to take the word or phrase, write it in a sentence that's true for you or true in your world, and then memorize your sentences.

👉 You can even take your sentences and write them in the comments below. I would love to see your examples.
