-
Have to
is similar to
must
, but not quite as serious. Use
must not
to express strong obligations: not to do something. Use
don't have to
to state that there is no obligation or necessity. Use
have to
when external circumstances make an obligation necessary.
Listening:
Make inferences
- Sometimes information in conversations is not presented clearly; therefore, you have to make inferences. Inferences are guesses based on information you get from listening or reading a text. Very often, the previous knowledge you have of the topic will help you make a correct inference.
Speaking:
Talk about rules
- Use what you learned in the grammar section to talk about rules.
What to do: You must ... You have to ...
What not to do: You must not ... You don't have to ...
Reading:
Make inferences
- When you make inferences, you use clues in the text to find out what the author means. Take your time, read closely, and consider reading twice. Think about why the author includes each detail.
Writing:
Brainstorm
- It can be challenging to think of ideas to write about in English. Brainstorming is a great way to think of new ideas. Just spend some time writing down everything that comes to your mind when you think of the topic. If possible, write in English. If you don't know a word, write it in your own language and look it up later.
