    Dear Teacher, this is a difficult grammar point. As a foreigner who lives off the Iles, my learning pattern consists of two phases at least, 1. Catch the idea - learn to understand 2 memories and find the techniques to use the grammar or vocab, whatever I have just understood. Dear Teacher Gideon, can you help with implementing point two.

    Hello, Gideon! Great job! I'm chuffed to bits by your useful lessons and great videos, too. Talking about English grammar rules, we also have "ought to" as present modal, don't we? 1. Is there any "ought to have" or "ought to've" as past modal in English grammar? 2. Is there any "ought have to" or "ought've to" as past modal in English grammar? 3. So, what is the past modal of "ought to" itself in English grammar and the negative form of its past modal? 4. What is the difference between "ought to" and "must" and "have to" in English grammar? 5. What is the past modal of "have to" in English grammar? Thanks in advance.

But my only regret is that for 30 years I still don't understand the usage of "might" . Every other modal verbs translated differently in French and make them somehow not that hard to understand (je voudrais,j'aimerais, je veux) but "I might" is really a mystery for me ;-)

    I would like to hear your comment about this example that I've come across recently in an exercise in a grammar book written by some American writers. There was this sentence about the possible causes of dinosaur extinction: Sentence: Probably, dinosaurs didn't survive the cold. (must not) -Rewrite --> Dinosaurs must not have survived the cold. Students are supposed to rewrite the sentences using the words in brackets. The rewrite is from the answer key; however, it does not sound right to me. It would sound more meaningful to me if it was like "dinosaurs might not have survived the cold" although I am not a native speaker. I am a fluent and a proficient speaker of English, though. :)
