Dear teachers,

1� After the expression "be afraid that" should we use the subjunctive in the present? Can I say:

She is afraid (that) her friend SHOULD tell (and not WILL tell ?) her parents the truth?

2) But is there a past perfect subjunctive such as "SHOULD HAVE TOLD" ??

She was afraid her friend SHOULD HAVE TOLD her parents the truth ??

3) Is there any difference between "MAY HAVE TOLD" and "MIGHT HAVE TOLD" ?

Thank you all very much.
