What's the food like in Texas? I've never been there. 🙂
I guess I could sneak in on Jockos home made pizza if neccesary, though.

Did she provide you with her nice stories about cooking thru the nights in bed, while both of you holding your old hands lovely tight?

She provided me with much material to discuss on a geek forum.
And we were both much younger then....
Zers,
Admist all the hijacking, cooking and the other king which follows no rules in particular(at the location these evil chaps implied ), rest assured that you can use "provide" in both ways as you've mentioned.
Sure, Maxro's is a more elegant usage.
PS: I'm not English

"Have to" is more aggresive(it is absolute).
"Ought to" is more about treading along the morally correct path , in other words "should have...."
As an example, I have to baby-sit my GF's kid(what can be more inflexible than this!!!😡 ).
I ought to baby-sit.... means that in retrospect I should have, you know, ummm .....
Over to the others who can chime in and prolong the agony

They both mean that you should do something, the difference is in whether you have accepted this and actually will do it.
Have to: probably will do it.
Ought to: probably won't.
I have to complete my Tax Return by the end of September, or I will be fined, so I ought to do it this week.

They're both "devoir." But in American English, "ought to" means "should" in the sense of an obligation. "I really ought to get back to Lyon one of these days." "Have to" means "must." "When the douane asks for my passport, I have to show it to them."
thanks sirs...

That ought not to help. I've noticed that the majority of the DIYAudio members who most need to repeat their grammar and spelling lessons are from the US and Canada.
Unless, that is, you would like to improve your conversational English. You will learn how to simplify the telling of anecdotes by use of the phrase "was like" as a substitute for so many hard to remember verbs.
