3. I thought that you would inform me. ( Would is used here as the past form of 'will' in indirect narration.)
4. All the members can not be present at the meeting.
5. You should consult a dentist.

8. They ought to take the injured man to the hospital immediately.
9. He may not require surgery. ( Here, "will" can also be used when one is 100% sure.)
