Dari buku yang saya
baca yaitu bukunya mbak Betty Schrampfer Azar,dia menyatakan bahwa”Should and
ought to have the same meaning:they express advisability . They meaning ranges
in strength from a suggestion (“This is a good idea”)to a statement about responsibility
or duty (“This a very important thing to do”). Ini artinya bahwa Should and
Ought To memiliki arti yang sama: mereka mengungkapkan kelayakan. Mereka yang
berarti rentang kekuatan dari saran ("Ini adalah ide yang baik")
untuk pernyataan tentang tanggung jawab atau kewajiban ("hal ini sangat
penting untuk dilakukan").

In this lesson we are looking at the use of ‘should’
and ‘ought to’ for obligation and probability. As with other modals the meaning
given to the verb depends on the context it is used in.
Should/ought to – Obligation
When we want
to talk about obligation we are talking about the right thing to do:
You should/ought to finish your homework before you watch TV.
You shouldn’t/ought not to leave lights on when you leave the room.
You should/ought to finish your homework before you watch TV.
You shouldn’t/ought not to leave lights on when you leave the room.
Should/ought
to are also used to say what is the best thing to do or to give
recommendations:
You should/ought to walk to work.
The weather in Malta is perfect. You should/ought to come over for a holiday.
You should/ought to walk to work.
The weather in Malta is perfect. You should/ought to come over for a holiday.
With
question forms ‘should’ is used more than ‘ought to’:
Should I invite our neighbours to the party?
Who should I ask if I have a problem?
Should I invite our neighbours to the party?
Who should I ask if I have a problem?
‘Ought to’
can be used in questions but this is now considered too formal or archaic.
Should/ought
to + have + past participle can be used to talk about something that didn’t
happen that the speaker regrets:
I should have/ought to have invited the neighbours to the party. They were so offended.
I should have/ought to have invited the neighbours to the party. They were so offended.
Should/ought to – probability
‘Should’ and
‘ought to’ can be used to talk about something that is probable or that it is
expected to happen or that it is true:
We should/ought to be finished by this afternoon.
You should/ought to receive an answer by next week.
We should/ought to be finished by this afternoon.
You should/ought to receive an answer by next week.
Should/ought
to + have + past participle are used to talk about something that was expected
to happen in the past.
We should/ought to have finished by the afternoon yesterday.
You should/ought to have received an answer by now.
This structure can be used to express a future probability too.
We should/ought to have finished by the afternoon yesterday.
You should/ought to have received an answer by now.
This structure can be used to express a future probability too.
‘Should’ and
‘ought to’ are not normally used to express a negative probability but a
positive one.
He should/ought to get the promotion. NOT He should not get/ ought not to get the promotion.
He should/ought to get the promotion. NOT He should not get/ ought not to get the promotion.

Using had better
Let's move on to had better. Had better is stronger
than should and ought to. Had better carries an indirect threat. For example,
if you said, "You had better finish the report," you are not making a
polite suggestion. You are making an indirect threat. In other words, if you
don't finish the report, you are in trouble. Authority figures sometimes use
had better when speaking to people below them. Parents also use this form
often.
Listen to cartoon character Malory Archer. Malory is
the head of a spy agency. People think she is arrogant and heartless. Listen to
her tone when she uses had better.
Oh for—I'll send up some help.
And Missy, you had better watch it!
As you can hear, Malory is not making a polite
suggestion. She is threatening someone in a lower position.
Had better is not always impolite, it could express a
sense of urgency as in, "Your plane is leaving! You had better
run!" In other words, "If you
don't run, you will miss your flight." Had better has no past tense or
question for.
