should, ought to, had better

"Find the Mistake" review activity

Write a letter to a friend giving advice.

There are three auxiliary verbs that you can use to give advice. They are should, ought to, and had better.

Although all three have the meaning of should, " had better" is stronger because it implies a negative consequence if you don't follow the advice. Another difference is that usually ought to and had better are not used with questions.

There is a difference in the negative form as well. You can make a contraction only with the verb should, not the other two (see examples below). Also, note the position of the word not in the negative sentence below. The word not goes after should and had better but in the middle of ought to (" ought not to").

Practice
Write sentences to give advice. Use the verb and the information in parentheses.

The purpose of this exercise is to practice with the vocabulary in English, not to recommend medical treatments. To learn about first aid treatments visit www.redcross.org.
