一般來說,在一些特定的詞語引導的從句中都要用帶should的虛擬語氣。不過,在美國英語里,should是可省掉的。比如,凡是由suggest, request, order, demand, propose, desire, command, insist等及物動詞所帶的賓語從句,其謂語部分的should可以省。例如:I suggest that we (should) hold a meeting next week.

凡是由"It is (was) requested(ordered, suggested, desired, decided等)that..."引導的名詞性主語從句中,其謂語部分的should可以省略。例如:It is requested that the cloth (should) be woven at once./It is desired that the bridge (should) be built in two years.

凡是主句中有以suggest, proposal, order, idea, plan, news, motion, demand等名詞后面所帶的表語從句或同位語從句中,其謂語部分的should可以省略。例如:My idea is that we (should) get more people to attend the conference./I make a proposal that we (should) hold a meeting next week.

英文知識--if與whether
在使用虛擬語氣的句子中,如果用if會引起歧義時,就只用whether。比如:Could you tell me if you know the answer?這句話有兩種意思:"你能告訴我是否知道答案嗎?"或"如果你知道答案,請告訴我,好嗎?"所以,需要用whether才能避免歧義。
