    Modals of Advice: Should, Ought
    to, Had better
    • Modal verbs are helping/auxiliary verbs that
    express ideas like ability, advice, and
    obligation. Many modal verbs have more
    than one meaning. They are always followed
    by the simple form of a verb. For example:
    - Amanda should go to the doctor.
    • This shows that we think it is a good idea for
    Amanda to visit the doctor.

    • These examples have the same basic advice
    message, but “had better” is a bit stronger. It
    includes the idea of a warning: something bad will
    happen if you do not follow my advice. For example:
    - You had better not forget to pay your tuition. If you
    forget, the university will kick you out.
    - You had better do your homework. If you do not do
    your homework, the teacher will give you a low mark.
    • Note: “You had better...” can be contracted to
    become “You'd better....”
