B: It's delicious, but I don't think I ought to.
Partner: Have you noticed the modals used in the dialogue?
Myself: Yes, two modals like 'would' 'ought to' have been used in the dialogues.
Partner: Can you please, tell me the functions of the modals in respective sentences?
Myself: Both the modals have specific function. 'Desire' is expressed by the modal 'would'. On the contrary. 'obligation' is expressed by the modal 'ought to'.
