Questions & Answers about เรา ควร ปกป้อง สิ่งแวดล้อม ครับ
Why is ควร placed right before ปกป้อง?
ควร is a helper verb meaning "should." In Thai, you place it immediately before the main verb of the sentence to give advice. Here, it goes right before ปกป้อง (to protect), making the structure very similar to English.
The word for environment, สิ่งแวดล้อม, seems like a compound word. What are its parts?
You spotted it! สิ่ง is a very common word meaning "thing" or "item." แวดล้อม means "to surround." Put them together, and it literally means "the things that surround us" — the environment.
Is ปกป้อง only used for protecting nature?
No, ปกป้อง is a general word for "to protect" or "to defend" something or someone from danger. You can use it when talking about protecting a child, defending a country, or guarding the environment.
If this is general advice for everyone, do we have to include the pronoun เรา (we)?
Not always. If it is understood that you are making a general statement for everyone, you can safely drop the pronoun เรา. Saying just ควรปกป้องสิ่งแวดล้อมครับ is completely natural and simply means "(People) should protect the environment."
