면 (good future verb)

SP should

The verbs you can use for the good verb include anything with a positive connotation.

• 좋다 is quite common.
• Positive feelings, such as 기쁘다 or 행복하다.
• Good things, like health or wealth.

The verb can be added as "so (these good things happen)" can be added if there is some detail in what the good result is.

Note that if the good verb is in the present tense, then this isn't "should", but more a statement of fact closer to its literal meaning, without any sense of doubt or uncertainty. IE, "공부하면 좋다." → "It is good to study/If you
