OUGHT TO -SHOULD 

a) Se pueden utilizar indistintamente para dar consejos y hacer recomendaciones, aunque should es mucho más frecuente. Ought to apenas se usa en negativa e interrogativa.


CAN, COULD, BE ABLE TO 

USOS DEL CAN:

 a) Para expresar habilidad o capacidad: “saber”, “poder”. 

b) Con acciones que empiezan en el pasado pero todavía tienen continuidad en el presente. 

c) Para hacer peticiones, dar y pedir permiso de manera informal. 

d) Para indicar posibilidad: We can do that later. (Podemos hacer eso luego). 


 En negativa tiene, además de estos, otros dos usos: 

e) Para expresar deducción. 

f ) Para indicar prohibición. You can´t smoke here. (No puedes fumar aquí). 

BE ABLE TO también indica habilidad y posibilidad como can, pero en los tiempos que le faltan a este verbo modal. Will you be able to do it before six o´clock?. (¿Podrás hacerlo antes de las 6?)


COULD 

a) Se usa para expresar habilidad y capacidad en el pasado. 

b) Para hacer peticiones o pedir un favor de manera más formal que con can. 

c) Para hacer sugerencias. 

d) Para indicar posibilidad, pero dando a entender que es más remota que si usamos can. We could go on friday afternoon.. (Podríamos ir el viernes por la tarde).

MAY/MIGHT

a) Ambos verbos expresan la posibilidad de que algo ocurra en el presente o en el futuro, sin ser seguro. Como hemos visto antes, can también expresa posibilidad pero denota que las circunstancias reales lo permiten. 

b) May también se utiliza para pedir y dar permiso de una forma más educada que con can.

'I play poker with my friends on Friday night.' - poker is a competitive game. We play to win.
'I don't like playing computer games.' - again, computer games are competitive so we use play.

'I heard that you do karate.' - karate is a non-team activity.
'I do crossword puzzles in my free time.' - crossword puzzles are not competitive.

go

Go is used with activities that end -ing. We go somewhere to do something:
'I'm going fishing on Sunday.'
'Are you going skiing this winter?'
