1. 1 - d don't have to (Reason: It's not necessary.) 2 - b don't need (Reason: This is the only form that fits with to be following it. You mustn't be so rude!and You don't have to be so rude! are possible sentences but don't fit here because to be is already in the sentence.) 3 - b had to (Reason: Yesterday shows that we need the past tense. Had to is the only past tense here.) 4 - c must (Reason: This is the statement of a law. Note the impersonal third person subject [drivers] and the formal language [operating a motor vehicle]. Laws are stated using must.) 5 - d have to (Reason: It is an obligation imposed from the outside. This is someone talking about a law, not the law itself. Note the personal subject [you] and the informal language.) 6 - c mustn't (Reason: In the negative, this is the only one that means it is necessary not to do something.) 7 - a must (Reason: This is the speaker's own strong feelings or wishes. The speaker is putting the obligation on himself/herself.) 8 - a Do you have to (Reason: The speaker is asking about something imposed on the listener, something the listener has no choice in, so have to is used. Choice (d) is not the correct form of the question.) 9 - c don't have to (Reason: It's not necessary.) 10 - a mustn't (Reason: It's necessary that you not do it.) 11 - b have (Reason: The obligation comes from outside, so use have to. We cant use must becauseto is already in the sentence.) 12 - a must (Reason: It's urgent.
