Summary

Ought to aditz modala betebehar edo aholkua adierazten ditu. Ez da bezain must indartsua.

Era ezberdinetan erabili dezakegu:

  • Baiezkoa: Subjektuarekin hasten gara eta ought to eta aditza ondoren.
  • Ezezkoa: Subjektuarekin hasten gara eta ought not to eta aditza ondoren.
  • Galdera: Ought-ekin hasten gara gehi subjektua eta to eta aditza ondoren (esaldia galdera marka batekin amaitzen da).

Adibidez:
— Baiezkoa: “You ought to do your homework to understand the subject.” = Ought to aholkua emateko erabiltzen da.
— Ezezkoa: “You oughtn’t to do your homework to understand the subject.” = Oughtn’t aholkua emateko erabiltzen da.
—Galdera: “Ought you to do your homework to understand the subject?” = Ought…? aholku edo berrespen bat eskatzeko erabiltzen da.
♦ “You must do your homework or you will fail the class.” = Must-ek betebehar sendoago bat erakusten du.
