| Oct 7, 2022 at 19:22 | comment | added | Robbie Goodwin | Neither could be preferable without further context. Can you Post more detail? While we're here, please remember that 'should be preferred' is not idiomatic, even though it's also no ungrammatical. 'Might…' or 'would be preferred' sound more natural. In complete contrast, "should 'is' or 'has been' be preferred?" does work and, "Is 'is' or 'has been' preferable?" works better. Others might have better explanations and mine is merely that such things depend on common idiom, not formal rules. | |
