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).
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
