In week 3 you leaned to use modal verbs (should, ought to, had better) to give advice. These modal verbs, in addition to need to, are particularly useful, and quite common, in the context of a doctor who tells a patient how to take a medicine or take care of an injury. Look at these examples from the reading:

|
You shouldn’t be bending down so much!
I think you ought to see a doctor. You should change your job, too.
I’ll give you some medicine to take but you need to rest more than anything. |
As you can see from the examples above, modal verbs are always followed by another verb in simple form: be, see and rest, in this case. |
