Advisability: should, ought to, had better
Should = ought to
Should and
ought to have the same meaning:
they express advisability.e.g. a) You should say a greeting.
You ought to say a
greeting.b) You should speak clearly into the receiver.You ought to speak
clearly into the
receiver
Ought to is
often pronounced “otta” in informal
speaking e.g. You have a test tomorrow, you ought to
(“otta”) study tonight.

future meaning.It is more common in speaking than writing.e.g. You had
better identify yourself and your affiliation, before asking for the person
to whom you would like to speak

more common in speaking than writing.
