Q: They met on a Saturday in order that everybody should be free to attend.
In this sentence, I think “should” means the past of simple future “shall” or indicates uncertainty. What is your experts opinion?

  • I think we would more naturally say "... in order that everybody would be free to attend. Btw, "should" and "shall" are respectively past and present tense modals.

  • Is this sentence even grammatical? I thought „in order“ is used with the infinitive. I would have phrased this sentence in any of the following ways: for everyone to be free to attend, so that everyone can (would be free to) attend, with a view to allowing everyone to attend
