0 BTW, re the 01 i 00 can't 02 i 00 example, this is more natural: 02 br
00 We 01 b 00 can't finish 02 b 00 it by the end of next week. 01 font 00 Firm. 02 font 02 br
02 br
00 We 01 b 00 couldn't 02 b 00 finish 00 it by the end of next week, even if we made some effort. 01 font

0 I would say all of them could be ok in the right context, apart from 01 b 00 can't 02 b 00 and 01 b 00 couldn't 02 b 00 . Also, I'm not sure about "ought to", because I never use it (I always use "should") and so I don't know when it sounds good (I don't even know how to pronounce it, LOL) 05 0 010id 1
