Q1
Literally, ' should is the past tense of shall ', but it is often taken to mean 'ought to'.
' Should like, however, has the implied meaning of a probability to like, such
as " I am taking you to a caffee that serves very nice mango icecream, I
bet you should like it.".
Q2
In term of time, 'in' means ' at the end of ' whereas ' within' means ' before
the end of '; thus
I shall return in an hour. = I shall return at the end of an hour.
I shall return within an hour = I shall return before the end of an hour.
(implying that I may return earlier)
Q3
' no' and 'not' can both be used as an adverb in a sentence.
The word ' no', however, is also a ' determiner' in English grammar that
denotes a decisive expression in sentence like " I have no money."
or in the your example," I have no time to....." which denotes that " I
definitely have not any money." and " I definitely have time to..........".
The adverb ' not ' in " You haven't time to pack....", on the other hand,
does not have the expression of a determiner, it serves only as an
ordinary comment in a sentence.
Q4
Are you ' for ' my proposal ?
Did you read ' over ' the passage.....?
John was 'above' George.........
Q5
The British Parliament is composed' of ' two houses.

Q1. What does 'should like' mean??

It greatly depends on how you use it.
Should implies:
(1)right thing (2) advice (3) expect thing (4) correct thing
(5) orders (6) possibility (7) imagined situations (8) requesting/offering
(9) past intentions/expectations.

Children shouldn’t be allowed to play in the street. (right thing)
You should read his new book. (advice)
White wine, not red wine, should be served with fish. (correct thing)
Passengers should proceed to Gate 12. (order)

In modern English, the traditional difference between should and would in reported sentences, conditions, requests etc. has disappeared and “should” is not used very much at all.
The main use of “should” now is to tell somebody they ought to do, to give advice, or to add emphasis. (The above sentences).


Q2.What is the difference between 'within' and 'in'??
e.g. within an hour/in an hour
e.g. within two hours/in two hours

within an hour = during a particular period of time; In this case 1 hour.
in an hour = after a particular period of time; In this case 1 hour.

Q3. What is the difference between 'have no' and 'have not' ???
e.g. I have no time.
e.g. you haven't time to pack all your belongings.

I have no time for someone/something = I dislike someone/something

I have not got time to do something = I don’t have time to do something. (time in this case means the amount of time available to do something.)


Q4. Choose the best answer.
