What is the modern word for shouldst?

The modern equivalent of "shouldst" is should.

"Shouldst" is the archaic second-person singular form of the verb "should". Modern English no longer uses singular and plural forms for verbs in the second person, so "should" is used for both singular and plural.

For example:

* Archaic: Thou shouldst go to the market.

* Modern: You should go to the market.
