Ought-ot mikor hasznalunk?

A 'should'-ot bizonyos esetekben helyettesítheted 'ought to'-val. Ezek az alábbiak:

-expectation: This film should/ought to be really good.

-recommendation: I think you should/ought to talk it over with your parents.

-criticism: You shouldn't/ought not to eat so much late at night.

Amikor NEM helyettesítheted:

-uncertainty: Should I leave these papers on your desk?

-expressing a strong obligation politely: Guests should vacate their rooms by midday.

-with verbs of thinking: I should think that model would sell quite well.

-with 'be' and adjectives (describing chance): It's strange that we should be staying in the same hotel!

-after 'in case' to emphasise unlikelihood: In case I should be out, this is my mobile number.

Csak annít hogy #2 most igazat szól.

Viszont amikor nem helyettesíthető (vagyis a második csoport) csak 1000 esetből 1x fordúl elő.

Tehát azt jegyezd meg hogy szinte mindig a should és az ought to ekvivalens.

you ought to know better

We ought to comb our hair.

It ought to be on our coat of arms instead of the lion and the unicorn.

You ought to understand.

Ought to go upstairs.

You ought to be careful.

Maybe you ought to go home.

Than that ought to work.
