Quick Grammar Aid - Modal Verbs
NEED is a semi-modal verb because in some ways it is like a modal verb and in other ways like a main verb.
1. We use NEED mostly in the negative form to indicate that there is no obligation or necessity to do something. We form the negative by adding NOT: NEED NOT (NEEDN’T).
You needn’t take off your shoes.
2. We don’t use don’t /doesn’t /didn’t with NEED:
Modal verb: You needn't listen to him. (You don't have to listen to him.)
Main verb: You don't need to listen to him. (There is no need to listen.)
These two sentences are different in the form and meaning, too.
3. Affirmatives with the semi-modal NEED are not common and they are used in formal contexts.
4. Questions with NEED are formed as regular questions: Do you need… ?
OUGHT TO is a semi-modal verb because it is in some ways like a modal verb and in some ways like a main verb. Unlike modal verbs, it is followed by TO, but like modal verbs, it does not change form for person:
I ought to phone my parents.
OUGHT TO is used to express advice combined with a certain moral obligation.
You ought to visit your parents regularly. (You should do it because it is morally correct.)
1. In affirmatives OUGHT TO conies first in the verb phrase (before a main verb): |
We ought to do more exercise. |
2. The negative is formed by adding NOT: OUGHT NOT TO (OUGHTN’T TO). We don’t use don’t, doesn’t, didn’t with OUGHT TO. The negative of OUGHT TO is not common. We usually use shouldn’t instead: |
We ought not to have ordered so much food. You shouldn’t speak to your father like that. |
3. The subject and OUGHT TO change position to form questions. The question form of OUGHT TO is very formal. We usually use should instead. We don’t use do, does, did: |
Ought she to call the police? = Should she call the police? |
4. Choose the correct variant of the answer: MUSTN'T or NEEDN'T. Use the Quick Grammar Aid above if you need. (The table of Modals is in the Appendix on p. 170.) Explain your choice to other students.
1. She__________________________________ go to bed early; tomorrow is a holiday.
2. You__________________________________ cross the road when the lights are red.

7. Do we have to pay to get in? - No, you__________ . Entrance to the museum is free.
8. You forget your sun cream. It’s going to be very hot!
