Hi,
I was wondering if negative forms of modals in future time is also possible similar to those of present and past time. I mean in both present and past times in degrees of certainty we have affirmative and negative forms as well. But, what about future time?
For example, "she ought to/should become a good teacher"
Is the negative form also possible? As in "she ought not to/shouldn't become a good teacher".
or "she may/might/ could not do well on the exam tomorrow"
