Question

Complete the following sentence, choosing the most appropriate semi-modal verbs
mend her ways.
she really mead her ways.
a) ought to
b) need to
c) used to
d) dare ​

Answer 1

Answer:

She really ought to mend her ways.

The correct answer is option a) ought to.

Explanation:

• We can use the semi-modal with the base form of the verb to talk about a previous habit, state, or truth that no longer exists.
• "Ought to" is a semi-modal verb because it resembles both a modal and a primary verb in some aspects.
• Dare, need, ought to, and used to are semi-modal verbs because they are produced in some ways like modal verbs and in other ways like other main verbs. Should and used to, like modal verbs, do not change form for the person.
