MUST AND OUGHT (TO)
1. Must is used to express duty, obligation,
necessity, etc.; as,
We are very late, so we must hurry.
(Necessity)
You must obey the law. (Duty)
We must do some social work.
(obligation)
2. Ought (to) is used
i) to express moral obligation or duty: We
ought to love our neighbours.
ii) to express desirability: We ought to work
hard to pass the examination.
iii) to express strong probability: With so
much of practice we ought to win the
match.
Note: The idea of obligation can be expressed
with 'should' or 'must' also, but 'ought' is
used when a feeling of moral duty is
involved.
