First Person के लिए shall का प्रयोग किया जाता है।
Second और Third Persons के लिए will का प्रयोग किया जाता है।

(इस तालिका में दिए गए सभी वाक्यों में ought to के स्थान पर should का प्रयोग किया जा सकता है।)
II. Ought के समान used भी एक ऐसा modal है जिसके साथ to का प्रयोग करना जरूरी होता है-
- He used to live here.
- He never used to live here.
Need का प्रयोग
1. Auxiliary के रूप में Need का प्रयोग केवल Negative और Interrogative वाक्यों में किया जाना चाहिए। इसका प्रयोग किसी सन्देह (doubt) अथवा मनाही (prohibition) को जोरदार ढंग से व्यक्त करने के लिए किया जाता है।
- Need you go yet? No, you needn’t.
- Need she come tomorrow ? No, she needn’t.
2. Need का Third Person Singular सदा need ही होता है, न कि needs:
- Need Mohan go there now?
- He need not worry any more.
3. प्रश्नवाचक वाक्यों में need का प्रयोग तभी किया जाता है जब negative उत्तर वांछित हो।
- Need you go there?
- No, I needn’t.
4. Interrogative और Negative वाक्यों में need के साथ to का प्रयोग नहीं किया जाता है।
- Need he do any work?
- No, he needn’t do any work.
5. किन्तु निम्नलिखित वाक्यों में need के साथ to का प्रयोग किया गया है-
- He need to go now. (Affirmative)
- He does not need to go now. (Negative)
- Does he need to go now? (Interrogative)
यदि ध्यान से देखा जाए तो पता चलेगा कि इन सभी वाक्यों में need को मुख्य क्रिया (Principal Verb) के रूप में प्रयोग किया गया है, न कि Auxiliary के रूप में।
6. Need not की जगह haven’t got to, don’t have to, don’t need to का प्रयोग किया जा सकता है।
- He need not go.
7. जब needs का प्रयोग must के साथ किया गया हो, तो यह एक adverb का कार्य कर रहा होता है। वास्तव में needs एक Possessive Case है जिसमें apostrophe (‘) का लोप किया होता है। इस प्रकार : needs = need’s = of need = of necessity = necessarily (adv.) इस प्रकार हमने देखा कि needs को एक adverb क्यों माना जाता है।
- He must needs finish his work by evening.
Dare का प्रयोग
1. Auxiliary के रूप में dare का प्रयोग निम्नलिखित हालतों में किया जाता है-
- Negative वाक्यों में।
- Interrogative वाक्यों में।
- सन्देह (doubt) व्यक्त करने वाले वाक्यों में।
- ऐसे वाक्यों में जिनमें hardly, never, no one, nobody का प्रयोग किया गया हो।
2. जब dare का प्रयोग auxiliary के रूप में किया गया हो, तो इसके साथ to का प्रयोग नहीं किया जाता है।
3. Dare का Third Person Singular सदा dare ही होता है, न कि dares.
उदाहरण: (Negative)
- He dare not fight with me.
- He will hardly dare go there again.
