Answer 1

Respuesta:

Explicación:

Ought to: form

Affirmative

Ought to comes first in the verb phrase (after the subject and before another verb):

*We ought to do more exercise.

*Ought to cannot be used with another modal verb:

*Medicine ought to be free.  

Negative

The negative is formed by adding ‘not’ after ought (ought not to). It can be contracted to oughtn’t to. We don’t use don’t, doesn’t, didn’t with ought to:

We ought not to have ordered so much food.

You oughtn’t to have said that about his mother.

The negative of ought to is not common. We usually use shouldn’t or should not instead:

You shouldn’t speak to your father like that. (preferred to You oughtn’t to speak …)

Questions

The subject and ought to change position to form questions. We don’t use do, does, did:

*Ought she to call the police?

*Ought we to be more worried about the environment?

Had better

‘Had better’ is used for a threat or a warning.  It is stronger than ‘should’ and implies consequences if the action is (or is not) carried out:

* ‘You had better be at the meeting’ implies there will be problems – you will be fired? – if you are not.

Often we use ‘or else’ or ‘otherwise’ to introduce the consequences:

*You had better pay the fine or else it will double

He had better close the garage, otherwise somebody will steal his bicycle

The negative is ‘had better not’.

*You had better not cross the train tracks when the barrier is down.

Should

We use ‘should’ when we want to give advice, make suggestions or say that something is the right thing to do. We NEVER use ‘to’ after should:

*We should get together more often .

 

-The negative is ‘should not’, which we frequently contract:

*You should not leave your car in neutral

*They shouldn’t eat so much sugar

 

-In the question, we invert ‘should’ and the subject:

*Should they charge for emergency room visits?
