語源

用法
(1)Ought to is sometimes used without a following verb if the meaning is clear:
如果意思明確，有時ought to 後面不需跟動詞：
Should we begin soon? Yes, we ought to.
我們馬上開始嗎? 是的，開始。
(2)In questions and negative sentences, especially those with contractions, to is also sometimes omitted:
在疑問句和否定句中，尤其是帶縮寫的這些句子中，to 有時也會被省略：
Oughtn't we be going soon?
難道我們不馬上走嗎?
(3)Although the omission of to was formerly possible in English, it is now considered nonstandard. · Usages such as He hadn't ought to come and She shouldn't ought to say that are common in many varieties of American English. They should be avoided in written English, however, in favor of the more standard variant ought not to.
儘管以前在英語裡省略to 是可能的， 但現在這樣做就會被認為不標準。例如他不會來 和 她不該說 之類的用法在各種美式英語中很普遍。 但在書面英語中應避免這樣使用，而應使用更標準的變體ought not to
