🛑 The Power of 'Must'

In the text, the word must is used several times. We use this word when there is a strict rule or a necessity. You have no choice.

Examples from the text:

  • "Companies must show..."
  • "Students must stay..."
  • "Courts must check..."

How to build your own sentences: Subject + must + Action

  • I must study English. \rightarrow (It is necessary for me)
  • You must stop at the red light. \rightarrow (It is the law)

💰 Talking about Money (Simple Phrases)

Notice how the text describes costs without using hard words:

  • "Cost... higher" \rightarrow Prices go up.
  • "Cost more money" \rightarrow It is expensive.
  • "Unable to pay" \rightarrow I don't have enough money.

Quick Tip: In A2 English, you don't need big words. Instead of "expensive," you can say "It costs a lot of money."
