(For the use of must in subordinate clauses after the past tense of the verb in

the principal clause see Chapter XIX, Indirect Speech, § 2.8.)

§ 5. Should1 and ought.
The modal verbs should and ought are treated together here as there is hardly
any difference between them. Very often they are interchangeable.
I ought to have married; yes, I should have married long ago. (Poutsma)
There is, however, a difference in construction. Whereas should is followed
by the infinitive without the particle to, ought is always followed by the to-
infinitive.
Should and ought are used with the Indefinite Infinitive, the Con tinuous
Infinitive and the Perfect Continuous Infinitive.

You should be learning your lessons, Jack, and not talking with Mary.
You ought to be helping your mother with your salary and not squandering
your money.
He should have been trying to break through the isolation the hospital had set
around Thorpe, he should have been doing many things other than walking
along the Seine quay (Heym)
When reference is made to the present or future, the Indefinite Infinitive is used.
In wartime a man should not part with his rifle. (Heym)
It's murder, and we ought to stop it. (London)
When reference is made to the moment of speaking or some other given
moment, the Continuous Infinitive is used. The implication is that the advisable
action is not being carried out.
I should be gardening in this warm weather. (But I'm not)
