Meena ought not to have lost her patience
Explanation:
- "Ought not" is the negative form of "ought to" and "ought" has the same meaning as "should" and when used with not, it means "should not"
- However, the negative form "ought not" is often used without a "to" and is used to indicate "what is expected". Like for instance, in the above example it indicates that "Meena should not have lost her patience" (what is expected out of Meena)
- Also, "ought" is a semi-modal verb since they function as modal auxiliary verbs & main verb, as well. "Semi-modal verbs" combine with "preposition" to express the same things as the "main modal verbs".
- "Semi-Modal Verbs" function in much the same way as modal verbs - they are an auxiliary verb which adds information to the "main verb", however, cannot really function alone.
- "Negatives" (semi-modal verb) are formed by adding "not" after the modal verbs, as in, ought not, should not, and so on
