उसे अनुमति प्राप्त कर लेनी चाहिए, उसे स्वीकृति के लिए निवेदन करना चाहिए इत्यादि कई ढंग से लिखा जा सकता है। यथासंदर्भ वाक्य बनाया जा सकता है।

जैसा कि ऊपर बताया जा चुका है कि had better का प्रयोग should या ought की तरह होता है। यदि had better के स्थान पर had होता यानी वाक्य past perfect होता तब had + asked का प्रयोग होता।

We use “had better” plus the infinitive without “to” to give advice. Although “had” is the past form of “have”, we use “had better” to give advice about the present or future.

"Had better" is most commonly used to make recommendations. It can also be used to express desperate hope as well as warn people.
