💡 The 'Must' Pattern
In the text, we see: "A court said they must join now."
When you want to say something is a rule or 100% necessary, use must + action.
Examples from life:
- I must sleep. → (Rule for my body)
- You must stop. → (Traffic rule)
- We must learn English. → (Goal for A2)
🛠️ Action Words (Past vs. Now)
Look at how the story changes time:
Happened (Past) Happening (Now/General)
- arrested arrest
- blocked block
- used use
Pattern: To talk about the past, we usually just add -ed to the end of the action word.
Example:
- Now: I block the door.
- Yesterday: I blocked the door.
