💡 The 'Must' Power-Up
In this text, we see the word must used many times. At A2 level, you need this word to talk about things that are 100% necessary (rules).
How it works:
Person/Company + must + action
Examples from the text:
- Companies must show... → (It is a rule)
- They must put ads... → (They have no choice)
- Companies must do more work... → (This is required)
Quick Tip: Notice that after must, the action word is simple. We don't say "must to show" or "must showing." Just use the basic word:
must → show / put / do / pay
