First of all, thank you, native English speakers, and then raise question about four sentences, seemingly with the same meaning. 1. He spoke loudly so that everyone heard him. 2. He spoke loudly so that everyone could hear him. 3. He spoke loudly so that everyone might hear him. 4. He spoke loudly so that everyone should hear him. Which is grammatically correct? Do they have the same meaning?

They’re all grammatically correct however they vary slightly in their nuance. Sentence 1 - is expressing a factual real result Sentence 2 - is purpose, “could” hear him Sentence 3 - purpose again but lack of certainty “might hear him” Sentence 4 - is grammatically unnatural but theoretically correct, unlikely to be used in natural speech or writing if it were written “he spoke loudly because everyone should be able to him” this is slightly more natural. Hope this helps 😊
