• ​ought to used as if should

​OUGHT TO

• ​We use had better to advise someone it has the same meaning with should .

• ​it gives stronger meaning

• ​it means '' yapsan iyi olur'' in Turkish .

​HAD BETTER

Advise in a stronger way

Sometimes, you need to make your advice stronger to let the listener know that it’s really important. We can use the expression ‘you had better…’ to do this.

You had  (You’d)  better start working on your homework. You had  (You’d)  better finish this assignment in time. 

We use an infinitive after ‘better’ to explain our advice and add ‘not’ after ‘better’ to make the sentence negative.

So, now you know how to give advice in English. Next time one of your friends is having some trouble, give them some advice in English and try out your new skills.

​

Put yourself in the person’s position

If someone is asking for your advice, sometimes it’s useful to imagine yourself being in that person’s position. This is a good way to explain your advice, too.

If I were you, I would travel more

Remember to use an infinitive after ‘would’ and not ‘to’. To make this negative, put ‘not’ after ‘would’.

​

Make a suggestion

A suggestion or recommendation is another good way of giving advice that isn’t to direct. You can use the words ‘suggest’ or ‘recommend’ as in the example below.

I would suggest doing more of an effort. I would recommend doing this instead.

Use ‘verb+ing’ after ‘suggest’ or ‘recommend’ to explain your advice to the listener. To make these negative, put ‘not’ before your ‘verb+ing’.

​Make it into a question

To make advice less direct, we can use a question to make the person we are advising consider about the advice we are giving them.

Why don’t you do some more tidying? How about doing some more tidying?

With the question ‘Why don’t you…?’ we use an infinitive without ‘to’. When we use ‘How about…?’ to make a question, we use a gerund after it
