error The "Had Better" Trap!

"Had better" means NOW or FUTURE!

(កុំច្រឡំដោយសារពាក្យ "Had"! "Had better" ប្រើសម្រាប់ផ្តល់ការព្រមានសម្រាប់ពេលបច្ចុប្បន្ន ឬអនាគត។ ហើយកុំប្រើ "to" បន្ទាប់ពីវា!)

What is the exact difference between "should" and "had better"? They seem the same to me.

Great question, Sovan! "Should" is just general advice (it's a good idea). "Had better" is stronger; it's almost a warning. It implies that if you DON'T do it, something bad will happen. (e.g. "You had better study, or you will fail the test!"). warning

Why do we say "If I WERE you" instead of "If I WAS you"? I = was!

You are right that normally we say "I was". However, when we are talking about unreal or imaginary situations (like pretending to be someone else), we use a special grammar mood called the "Subjunctive". In this mood, "was" becomes "were" for all subjects! auto_awesome

Can I use "Ought to" in questions? Like "Ought I to go?"

Reply thumb_up 5

It is grammatically possible, but it sounds very old-fashioned and awkward! In modern English, we almost always just use "Should" for questions. (e.g. "Should I go?"). We mainly keep "ought to" for positive statements. forum
