🚦 The 'Must' Rule

In this story, we see a very strong word: MUST.

When you see must, it means there is no choice. It is a rule.

  • Schools must pick up students inside. \rightarrow (It is the law)
  • They must have parking. \rightarrow (They have to do it)

How to use it for A2 level: Subject + must + action

  • I must study.
  • You must stop.

🚌 Opposites (Antonyms)

Let's look at words that fight each other in the text:

Safe \leftrightarrow Illegal/Unsafe Enough \leftrightarrow Too small/Too full

Note: When we say "too full," it means there is more than what is okay. This is a key way to describe problems in English.
