🛠️ The 'Must' Tool

In this text, we see a word used to describe strong rules. When something is not a choice, we use must.

Look at these patterns:

  • Cars must have a certificate \rightarrow (It is a law)
  • People must work from home \rightarrow (It is required)
  • Sites must use water sprays \rightarrow (They have no other choice)

How to use it: Person/Thing + must + action

Comparison for A2 learners:

  • I want to work from home. (My wish) $
  • I must work from home. (The rule)

🕒 Time Words (Now vs. Future)

The text switches between what is happening now and what will happen later.

Right now:

  • Parking costs more money now.

In the future:

  • The city will give money.
  • The city will build more places.

Quick Tip: Use 'will' when you talk about a plan for the future (like 2030).
