 AUXILIARY VERBS AND EXPRESSIONS TO GIVE ADVICE, EXPRESS

PREFERENCES AND NECESSITIES

What’s advisable

*HAD BETTER (NOT) to give “strong” advice (we use it to tell people what
they should do in a specific situation and if they don’t follow the advice, something
bad might happen. There could be bad consequences)

*You’d better leave now or you’ll miss the bus

*OUGHT TO it has a similar meaning to should and we also use it to give
advice but it is softer than “had better”

*MIGHT WANT TO it is also used to give advice, but the advice sounds
more like a suggestion. The meaning is similar to “it’s a good idea”

What’s necessary

*HAVE TO it expresses a more urgent sense of obligation

*You have to hand in the report by this afternoon

*BE GOING TO + HAVE TO it expresses obligation but it is softer than

“have to”, we use it to talk about what is necessary in the future.

“stronger” and “URGENT”
