1. I ought to wear spectacles = I should wear spectacles... but I don �t.
I have to wear spectacles = that is why I �m wearing them.
2. He ought to go to the dentist twice a week = advice.
He has to go to the dentist twice a week = He is going to the dentist twice a week, it is necessary.
3. You ought to be more attentive = advice.
You have to be more attentive = order
Hope it helps ;o)) |

Just a little note:
"Ought" doesn �t have an infinitive, so it isn �t "to ought to". I just thought I �d point that out, not to be picky (which I am definitely capable of being), but in case some people didn �t know it.
