Default Re: djoulai04 and coffa thank you for your answers and here's another one for everybody

I don't see much if any difference- there may be a few sentences where one is more likely to be used, but most of the differences in BrE, to me, are the fact that the negative and interrogative of ought to are used less because they're harder to say.
