The Power of 'MUST'
In the story, we see a very strong word: must.
When you want to say something is a rule or a requirement, use must + action.
- Roman must stay in prison. (He has no choice. It is the law.)
- Stanislav must stay for two years. (This is a requirement.)
Time Travel: Past vs. Present
Notice how the words change when the time changes. This is the secret to A2 English.
The Past (It happened)
- Start Started
- Burn Burned
- Want Wanted
The Present (It is happening now)
- Check Checking
- Are Are
Quick Tip: To talk about things that already happened, we often just add -ed to the end of the action word!
