Topic: Modals of advice

Semana del 27 de abril al 1 de mayo

Transcribe la siguiente información en tu cuaderno:

English speakers use the modal verbs “should,” “ought to” and “had better” to express that they think something is a good (or a bad) idea. “Should” is the most common way to give advice.

Look at these examples:

Affirmative	Negative	Question
A: I failed my test. B: Really? You should study harder.	Young children shouldn't watch violent TV shows.	I have a problem. Should I call my parents or my friend?
A: It's really cold outside. B: You ought to wear a warm jacket.	(“ought to” is not usually used in the negative form)	(“ought to” is not common in question form)
A: You had better slow down. You are driving too fast!	You had better not forget to pay your tuition. If you do, the university will kick you out!	(“had better” is not usually used in question form)

These examples have the same basic advice message, but “had better” is a bit stronger. It includes the idea of a warning: something bad will happen if you do not follow my advice.

Note: “You had better...” can be contracted to become “You'd better....”
