Discovering modals of obligation

Match the phrases with their meaning: A You don’t need to do this, it isn’t necessary. B Don’t do this. It isn’t allowed/permitted. C It’s necessary or compulsory to do this. D It’s a good idea to do this

  1. You should change your ringtone if it’s embarrassing.
  2. You must not use your phone in ‘quiet zones’.
  3. Your phone is not a megaphone. You don’t have to shout.

Modal Verbs

  • (^) Modal Verbs of Obligation: Must / Mustn’t Have to / Don’t have to Can / Can’t
  • (^) Modal Verbs for Advice: Should / Shouldn’t (Ought to / Oughtn’t to)

Must / Mustn’t

Use must (+ verb) and mustn’t (+ verb) to talk about rules and instructions:

  • (^) You must exit the car park before 11pm.
  • (^) You mustn’t smoke in here. Don’t use must in the past (use had to + verb )
  • (^) When I was at school we had to wear a uniform.
  • (^) In my previous job I had to start at 7am every morning.

Have to

We use have to (+ verb) to say that something is necessary.

  • (^) He has to wear glasses for driving.
  • (^) We’ll have to work late tonight if we want to finish this project today.
  • (^) Yesterday we had to wait for an hour for our train as it was so late.
  • (^) What time do you have to leave?

Must & Have to

In the examples on the previous slide have to is very similar to must. The difference is that must is more about the speaker’s opinion and have to is about an external obligation.

  • (^) I have to work until 8pm on Fridays. (a fact not an opinion)
  • (^) He must give up smoking. (my opinion) Remember that must is generally used in written instructions (ie signs): You must wear hard hats on the construction site.

Can / Can’t

We use can (+ verb) and can’t (+ verb) to say that something is, or is not, possible or allowed:

  • (^) I can go to the shop after work. I’ll have time.
  • (^) You can’t smoke inside but you can smoke in the garden. In the past can becomes could :
  • (^) We couldn’t go to the cinema last night because we couldn’t find a babysitter.

Can / Can’t

Remember that we also use can (+ verb) for ability:

  • (^) I can play the piano.
  • (^) My husband says he can’t cook. He can cook , he

just doesn’t want to!

  • (^) When I was younger I could play the clarinet.
