You should / ought to have seen his face when Itold

Should and ought to are NOT used in polite requests:
Could you please open the door? II is vel)l hot in here!
* You should open the door. /t is vel)l hot in here!
*You ought to open the door. It is vel)l hOI in here!
Should and oughl to are both used to talk about logical
