Grammar
must / mustn’t
• We use must to show something’s essential, either because of a law
or rule, or because we feel it’s essential. Mustn’t means it’s essential
not to do something. Must can also be used when we are guessing
something is true. Must is often replaced by have to, but it’s not
always possible.
