词组 oughtn't/shouldn't
释义
oughtn't/shouldn't     

【问】 She ought to go by plane,oughtn't she?

Barron's How to Prepare for the TOEFL(P.45)认为oughtn't she应改为shouldn'tshe。这是为什么呢?

【答】 这个试题过份地强调了美国用法。实际上,用oughtn't she也是正确的。CGEL的作者们说:

“有时用shouldn't代替oughtn't:

1. We ought to go now

我们现在该走了,是吧?

2. We ought to buy a new car,oughtn't we? (LDCE)

我们应该买辆新车,是吧?
