READING A STRANGE EXPERIENCE
Last month I was on holiday in Ireland with my mum and dad. One day, we were driving through a
small village. It was time for lunch, so
we stopped at a restaurant.
It was a large, old building. We looked
through the window. There were lots
of people in the restaurant. They were
eating, drinking, and chatting. A
musician was playing the violin. But
there was something strange about
the people. They were not wearing
normal, modern clothes. They were
wearing
hats, jackets, and dresses from another century. We could not understand it. But we were hungry,
so we opened the door. When we went into the restaurant, everything was different.
The people were wearing normal clothes. The musician was not there- the music was on CD. It was
a very strange experience!

Dear Byron,
It is really great here in Tonsupa. At the moment, we are sitting in a café with a beautiful view of the sea.
Joseph loves coconut milk, so he is enjoying it a lot. Every day we go sunbathing and later we go swimming
in the sea. The children like playing in the sand and later they will go swimming. The food is excellent. I'm
not very fond of ceviche, as you know, but I love fried fish and I eat it every day here! On Monday we went
to see birds and on a boat trip. The birds are so beautiful but I was a bit worried about the boat, because I
can't stand travelling by boat. I always get seasick. If the weather is fine tomorrow, we will go to Muisne.
We'll be back in Quito on the 25th. I'll call you when we arrive.

LESSON 3: SHOULD / OUGHT TO bit.ly/3f

NEGATIVE
The negative is formed by adding ‘not’ after ought (ought not to). It can be contracted to oughtn’t
to. We don’t use don’t, doesn’t, didn’t with ought to:

The negative of ought to is not common. We usually use shouldn’t or should not instead:
You shouldn’t speak to your father like that. (preferred to You oughtn’t to speak …)
QUESTION
The subject and ought to change position to form questions. We don’t use do, does, did:
Ought she to call the police?
Not: Does she ought to call the police?
Ought we to be more worried about the environment?
Not: Do we ought to be more worried about the environment?
