💡 The 'Must' Power-up
In this story, the word must appears many times. We use it when something is 100% necessary. There is no choice.
How to use it:
Person + must + action
From the text:
- Company → must give electricity.
- Builder → must pay money.
- Government → must make better rules.
Wait! Look at the change: Usually, we add 's' to actions (Example: He lives). But with must, the action stays simple.
