MODALS OF NECESSITY

AND OBLIGATION
Modals of Necessity: Must/ have to

 Must and have to are used to show that something is necessary:


The accommodation has to be booked well in advance.
The wine must be served chilled.
 Must is used in more formal situations when stating rules:
Students must present their I.D. when borrowing books from the library.
Guests must refrain from smoking on the premises.
 ‘Mustn’t’ has a different meaning to ‘don’t have to’:
You must/have to wear a tie. = this is necessary
You don’t have to wear a tie. = this isn’t necessary but you can if you want
to.
He doesn’t have to wear a tie. = this is not necessary.
MODALS OF PROHIBITION

We use can't and mustn't to show that something is prohibited – it is not allowed.


can't
We use can't to talk about something that is against the rules, particularly when we didn't make the rules.

What does this sign say? Oh, we can't park here.


You can't take photos in the museum. They're really strict about it.
Sorry, we can't sell knives to under-18s.
must not/mustn't
We use must not to talk about what is not permitted. It is common on public signs and notices
informing people of rules and laws.
Visitors must not park in the staff car park.
Baggage must not be left unattended.
Guests must not make noise after 10 p.m.
We use mustn't particularly when the prohibition comes from the speaker.
(Parent to child) You mustn't say things like that to your sister.
(Teacher to student) You mustn't be late to class.
I mustn't let that happen again.
