For example, can I say:
My manager said if Mr. Smith arrived late, I should call her immediately.
Clearly, I cannot use "should have called" here as it implies that I didn't call at all, which is not what I mean.
So, do I need to change "should" to "had to" or "was supposed to" or is it fine to use "should" here?
Thank you.
should is fine.
