How to Using “have to”, “supposed to”, and “ought to”
Using
“have to”, “supposed to”, and “ought to”
When
you are using “have to, has to” its
power is in resemblance with “must”,
that means you don’t have a choice and you must follow/ do what is told.
Examples:
- John has to go to work every day.
- The students have to study tonight.
- You have
to know the consequences of your actions.
On
the other hand, “supposed to” may means
an obligation. It is something that you should do, but it is also OK if you
choose not to do it. Still, it is better that you do it because it is either
good or beneficial for you. It also means what another person expect you to do.
Don’t forget to use verb after you “supposed
to”.
Examples:
- You’re supposed to stay in the class today.
- You’re supposed to be in the workshop.
- Emma is supposed to stay in her dorm this night.
“Supposed to” may also means that you are told/ have
been told to do something, but you didn’t do it.
Examples:
- Sally is supposed to meet her friend tonight. (But in fact she didn’t)
- All of the employees are supposed to attend today’s meeting.
(But in fact they didn’t)
“Ought to” means a suggestion. You better do
something but you don’t have to do it if you don’t want to.
Examples:
- We ought
to clean the house today. (We better be, but it is still okay if we don’t)
- Philip ought to help you with the homework. (Although it is completely
fine if he choose not to)
