Must, Mustn’t, don’t need to


Must is a modal verb.
must + infinitive

Must = When must is used in a sentence it is used to show necessity or obligation to do something. This means that the action needs to be done.

Pronoun Example
I Must I must go to sleep now.
We Must We must wake up early tomorrow.
You Must You must do your homework on time.
They Must They must eat breakfast ever morning.
She Must She must clean her room.
He Must He must see the mess he’s created.
It Must It’s too hot. It must rain soon.

Must not = Mustn’t = This means that it is necessary not to do something because it is the wrong thing to do.

Pronoun Example:
I Must not / Mustn’t I must not scream at my parents.
We Must not / Mustn’t We must not disrespect our parents.
You Must not / Mustn’t You mustn’t go to school without eating breakfast.
They Must not / Mustn’t They mustn’t forget to phone grandma.
She Must not / Mustn’t She must not fight with her brother.
He Must not / Mustn’t He must not touch my things.
It Must not / Mustn’t The weather is lovely. It must not rain.

For the past we use had to… not must

Example: I had to rush to work because I was late. (not I must rush to work because I was late.)

More examples:

The weather was too hot. I was so thirsty so I had to drink an ice cold drink.
The car was gone in for repair so we had to walk home from school.
The buses were not running so I had to get a lift home with my neighbour.
I had to do my homework in school because I forgot to do it last night.
She had to take her medication at lunchtime.

Don’t need to

When we say I don’t need to something it means that it is not necessary to do it.

Examples:

I don’t need to do my homework.
I don’t need to buy a new bag for school.
We don’t need to go home now.
You don’t need to shout at me.
They don’t need to help me cook dinner.
You don’t need to take your brother swimming.
I don’t need to cook dinner tonight because we are ordering food.

You can also say I don’t have to instead of I don’t need to (to show that it is not necessary to do the action)

Examples:

I don’t have to go home right now.
I don’t have to sleep early tonight.
I don’t have to help my mum in the kitchen.
We don’t have to bake a cake for dad’s birthday.
They don’t have to drive themselves to the airport.
