Question

He should have studied hard for his examination (use:- Ought to have)

Answer 1

Answer:

He should have studied hard for his examination : use:- Ought to have

• The given question is said to use 'Ought to have' instead of 'should have'.

• Therefore the rewrite sentence is : He ought to have studied hard for his examination.

• Here in the above sentence 'ought to have' has been used to mention unrealised past not actually happened. Example : I ought to have met him, but I forgot.

• The structure : [ought to have + past participle (as it is mentioned above) talks about events which were supposed to happen in the past but did not.]

• The meaning of 'ought' is very similar to that of 'should'. But it is less frequent than 'should.'
• Ought is not so strong as Must

• Ought has no past form.
