🛠️ The "Must" Power-Word
In the text, we see: "Owners must make a list" and "Engineers must check the data."
When you want to say something is 100% necessary (a rule or a law), use MUST.
How to use it:
Person/Group must Action
- I must study. (It is necessary)
- You must stop. (It is a rule)
- We must go. (We have no choice)
⏳ Talking About the Future (Will)
Look at this sentence: "The government will not pay them."
We use WILL to predict what happens next. To make it negative (no), just add NOT.
- Positive: It will rain. (I think it happens later)
- Negative: It will not rain. (I think it does not happen later)
Simple Tip: Use will for promises or rules about the future.
