139 ought 的各种形式 
                  ought 是情态动词。(参见第107节B。) 
                  ought 没有其他形式,可用于现在时以及将来时。用于过去时则位于动词过去式之后或不定式的完成式之前: 
                  I ought to write to him today/tomorrow. 
                  我今天/明天应该给他写封信。 
                  I knew I ought to write to him. 
                  我那时知道我应该给他写封信。 
                  She said I ought to write. 
                  她说我应该写。 
                  I know/knew that I ought to have written. 
                  我知道/那时知道我该写的。 
                  否定式:ought not/oughtn't 
                  疑问式:ought I?等 
                  否定疑问式:ought I not?/oughtn't I?等 
                  ought 与带 to 的不定式连用。为了提醒学生这一点,常称之为 ought to。 
                  问句或话语中用 ought to 的时候,可以用 should 来回答;用 should 的问句或话语也可以用 ought to 回答: 
                  —You ought to put in central heating. 
                  —Yes,I suppose I should. 
                  —你应该装上暖气。 
                  —是的,我应该装。  |
