Should
Posted: Sun Feb 03, 2013 11:59 am
Hello
I was reading James Joyce's ' The Dead' when I came across the following sentence:
"He waited outside the drawing-room door until the waltz should finish<...>"
My question is why is there 'should' ? Why not just write " until the waltz finished" ?
Hope you help me with this problem!
