WHAT? · What is the grammar point?

ما هي القاعدة؟

'Should' gives advice. 'Must' shows a strong rule or obligation; 'mustn't' means it is not allowed. 'Have to' shows an obligation from outside; 'don't have to' means it is NOT necessary (but it is allowed).

should = «ينبغي» للنصيحة. must = «يجب» لقاعدة أو التزام قوي، وmustn't = «ممنوع». have to = «مضطر» لالتزام من الخارج مثل القوانين. انتبه للفرق المهم: mustn't تعني ممنوع، أما don't have to فتعني «ليس ضروريًا» ويمكنك أن تفعله إن أردت.

RULE

القاعدة
  • should / shouldn't + verb → advice
  • must / mustn't + verb → rule / prohibition
  • have to / has to + verb → obligation
  • don't / doesn't have to + verb → not necessary
