Hi, Ardith Hinton! I read your message from 29.06.2019 16:24 AK>> When a person is in a company of friends he never speaks formally. AK>> And he should not to. It is too loathsome, IMHO. AS>> Correction: "should not" or "ought not to" (depending on what you AS>> mean). AK>> Is it true, Ardith? Can I replace "speak" for "to"? AH> I agree with Anton that "to" as you used it here doesn't work. IMHO AH> what he's suggesting is that if you don't want to overuse the AH> verb "speak" you could correctly say "he should not (do so)" or "he AH> ought not to (do so)". I meant something like this: -----Beginning of the citation----- "Instead of which," I said, "in a month's time I take the most important examination of my career." "I should advise you not to." (Ch. Snow) ----- The end of the citation ----- I.e. the main idea (I take the most important examination) was replaced by "to", so that to be shorter. Bye, Ardith!
