Question

It isn't fair ; I always ------ do the dirty work. Fill in the blank with have to /ought to.

Answer 1

The correct option is ‘have to’.

It is not fair; I always have to do the dirty work.

 

Explanation

 

‘Have to’ is a modal verb that is used to show that you must do something. We also use ‘have to’ when the situation makes something that is necessary to be done.

 

Examples

 

I have to go for evening walk. (The doctor’s advice)

The students have to sit quietly in the class. (It is a rule)

 

Answer 2

The correct answer is have to.

It isn’t fair; I always have to do the dirty work.

Here, the phrase have to is used to indicate forced or must. Thus, the sentence means It isn’t fair; I always must do the dirty work.

On the other hand, ought to indicates a sense of responsibility, moral obligation, or probability of something. Thus, it is not apt in this case.
