when should 'should' be used and when should 'ought' be used??
Dear Student,
"Should" is usually used when when we want to express our personal subjective opinion - what I think is best for you to do.
For example: You should read books more often.
"Ought to" is used when we want to convey an objective truth - something that is necessary and cannot be avoided.
For example: According to this road sign, we ought to turn here.
Hope this helps. For further questions, please ask on the forum and our experts will be happy to help as soon as possible.
