Ought to का प्रयॊग बाध्यता का बोध कराने के लिए होता है जो मूलतः नैतिक या सामाजिक (moral/ social) हो ना कि legal. ऐसे कार्य के लिए कोई कानूनी बाध्यता नहीं होनी चाहिए। Ought to के बदले Should का प्रयॊग भी किया जा सकता है। सभी Subjects के साथ Ought to का प्रयॊग होता है। जैसे -

Recommendation: You ought to do more work. (आपको अधिक काम करना चाहिए।)

Strong expectation: Kiran ought to get the promotion. (किरण को पदोन्नति मिलना चाहिए।) (It is expected because he deserves it.)

Probability: This stock ought to increase in value. (इस शेयर के मूल्य में वृद्धि होनी चाहिए।)

Ought to का सामान्यतः should के समान ही अर्थ होता है। और इनका प्रयॊग अधिकतर समय एक दूसरे के स्थान पर किया जा सकता है।

You should/ought to get your hair cut. (आपको अपने बाल कटवाने चाहिए।)

Should is much more common (और आसान भी है), इसलिए अगर हम sure ना हो तो should का प्रयॊग करना ही अच्छा है।
