When to use Needs and Obligations

Read 需要 / 应该 / 得 + verb as a sentence tool, not just as vocabulary. First locate the main action or claim, then ask what 应该 adds to it.

你应该多喝水。

You should drink more water.

我们应该准时到。

We should arrive on time.

Common traps

  • Do not translate 需要 / 应该 / 得 + verb mechanically from English; check the Chinese word order first.
  • Keep 应该 close to the part of the sentence it controls.
  • Do not overuse the pattern in every sentence; use it when it adds a clear role.
