Obviously, the "have to" is used more frequently but can it replace "ought to"?
May be it used in British english more? |
According to my grammar book (Grammar Way), "ought to" is mostly used for general rules. The examples the book has provided are; "Drivers ought to stop when they see the red light", "Students ought to attend the classes".
