Great!
You always should act like sheep when your mother tells you anything!
Is that right?
“Sometimes you have to act like sheep and accept what you’re told.” It seems wrong, because you don’t accept something told by yourself, It could be “Sometimes you have to act like sheep and accept what THEY told” or “Sometimes you have to act like sheep and accept what THEY tell” What do you think????
I agree with you!
Nice sentence, Miquéias. The only slight imperfection is that you should put “always” between the auxiliary verb and the main verb (should always act). That is the position for the adverbs of frequency when we have an auxiliary verb and a main verb (can alway go, must usually stay, might never see…).
