B. GRAMMAR
MODALS
1. Should – Ought to – Had better
* Form: should/ ought to + V(bare -inf): nên làm gì
Hình thức phủ định của should là should not (shouldn't); của ought to là ought not to (oughtn't) to;
của had better là had better not.
Chúng ta dùng should, ought to để đưa ra ý kiến của chúng ta về việc gì đó hoặc đưa ra lời khuyên cho ai
đó (give our opinions about something or advice to somebody). Trong hầu hết các trường hợp thì
chúng ta có thể dùng ought to thay thế cho should.
E.g: You should/ ought to finish your homework before you go out.
Tuy nhiên có sự khác biệt nhỏ giữa should và ought to:
- "Should" thường được dùng khi chúng ta muốn biểu đạt quan điểm, ý kiến cá nhân
E.g: I think you should see him. (Tôi nghĩ bạn nên gặp anh ta.)
- "Ought to" thường được dùng khi nói đến điều luật, nhiệm vụ, quy định
E.g: They ought to follow the school's policy, or they will get expelled. (Họ nên tuân theo chính sách
của trường học, hoặc là họ sẽ bị đuổi ra khỏi trường.)
- "Should" thường được dùng trong các câu hỏi hơn "ought to", đặc biệt là trong loại câu hỏi WH-
questions
E.g: What should I do if I have any problems? (Tôi nên làm gì nếu tôi gặp vấn đề?)
- Should/ Ought to +have + PP: lẽ ra đã nên làm gì
Diễn tả một điều gì đó lẽ ra đã nên hoặc phải xảy ra trong quá khứ nhưng thực tế đã không xảy ra trong
quá khứ vì lý do nào đó
E.g: I should have gone to the post office this morning. (Lẽ ra sáng nay tôi phải đi bưu điện.)
tôi đã không đi
Diễn tả sự đáng tiếc, hối hận đã không làm việc gì đó (express regret that something was not done)
I failed the exam. I should have studied harder. (Tôi đã thi trượt. Đáng lẽ ra tôi nên chăm học hơn.)
- Chúng ta có thể dùng cụm was/were supposed to V để thay thế cho should have pp
E.g: She was supposed to go/ should have gone to the party last night.
* Form: Had better + V: nên, tốt hơn nên làm gì (Had better ='d better)
- Had better: cũng dùng khi cho lời khuyên, hay diễn đạt điều gì đó tốt nhất nên làm. Had better được
dùng để cho lời khuyên về sự vật sự việc, tình huống cụ thể, còn lời khuyên chung chúng ta nên sử dụng
"ought to" hoặc "should"
E.g: It's cold today. You'd better wear a coat when you go out. (Hôm nay trời lạnh. Tốt hơn là bạn nên
mặc áo khoác khi đi ra ngoài một tình huống đặc biệt)
- Had better đặc biệt được dùng để đưa ra lời khuyên mang tính cấp bách, cảnh báo và đe dọa
E.g: You had better be on time or you will be punished. (Bạn nên đúng giờ hoặc nếu không bạn sẽ bị
trừng phạt.)
2. Must- Have (Got) to
"Must" và "Have (got) to" đều có nghĩa là "phải": để chỉ sự bắt buộc hay cần thiết phải làm một việc gì
đó (express obligation or the need to do sth)
E.g: I must/ have to go out now.
Must và have (got) to có thể dùng để thay thế cho nhau nhưng đôi khi giữa chúng có sự khác nhau:
- Must: mang tính chất cá nhân, để diễn tả sự bắt buộc đến từ người nói, cảm giác của cá nhân mình (chủ
quan). Người nói thấy việc đó cần thiết phải làm
E.g: I really must give up smoking (Tôi thực sự phải bỏ thuốc.)
- Have (got) to: không mang tính chất cá nhân, để diễn tả sự bắt buộc đến từ các yếu tố ngoại cảnh bên
ngoài như luật lệ, quy định (sự bắt buộc mang tính khách quan- external obligation).
E.g: You can't turn right here. You have to turn left. (because of the traffic system)
Have got to ~ have to nhưng have got to thường được dùng trong ngôn ngữ nói (informal)
Have to Have got to
I/you/we/they have to I/you/we/they have got to
I/you/we/they don't have to I/you/we/they haven't got to
Do I/you/we/they have to...? Have I/you/we/they got to...?
Nếu have được tỉnh lược 've thì chúng ta phải có "got"
E.g: They've got to be changed. (không được dùng They've to be changed)
Trong thì quá khứ đơn, chúng ta thường dùng "had to" hơn là "had got to"
- Must có thể được dùng để nói về hiện tại và tương lai, nhưng không được dùng ở quá khứ. Thay vào đó,
ta phải dùng had to (have to dùng được ở tất cả các thì)
E.g: I must go to school now.
I must go to school tomorrow. /I will have to go to school tomorrow.
I had to go to school yesterday.
Nếu không chắc chắn nên dùng từ nào thì thông thường để "an toàn" hơn ta nên dùng have
- Must còn dùng để đưa ra sự suy luận dựa vào lập luận logic
E.g: She must be upstairs. We've looked everywhere else. (Cô ta chắc là ở trên tầng. Chúng tôi đã tìm
mọi nơi khác.)
- Must + be/ feel + adj: để bày tỏ sự thấu hiểu cảm giác của ai đó
E.g: You must be tired after that trip. (Bạn chắc hẳn rất mệt sau chuyến đi đó.)
Mustn't và Don't have to
Must not (mustn't) khác hoàn toàn với don't/ doesn't have to
+ Mustn't: không được làm gì đó (chỉ sự cấm đoán)
E.g: You mustn't tell the truth. (Bạn không được phép nói ra sự thật)
+ Don't have to = Don't need to: không cần làm gì, không phải làm gì (nhưng bạn có thể làm nếu bạn
muốn)
E.g: You don't have to get up early. (Bạn không cần thức dậy sớm đâu.)
- Must + have + PP: chắc hẳn đã, hẳn là
Diễn tả sự suy đoán hay kết luận logic dựa vào thực tế ở quá khứ (to draw a conclusion about
something happened in the past)
E.g: Mary passed the exam with flying colors. She must have studied hard. (Mary đã thi đậu với kết
quả cao. Cô ấy chắc hẳn đã học chăm chỉ.)
Must + have been + Ving: chắc hẳn lúc ấy đang
E.g: I didn't hear the doorbell. I must have been gardening behind the house. (Tôi đã không nghe
thấy chuông cửa. Chắc hẳn lúc ấy tôi đang làm vườn phía sau nhà.)
