Level: A2 (pre-intermediate) · Focus: Modals of obligation and advice
What we covered
- must and have to for rules and obligations
- must not vs don’t have to (the difference that confuses everyone)
- should for advice
- Speaking: the rules in your office or building
How it went in class
The must not / don’t have to contrast is the key moment. Learners wrote real rules for their workplace and then sorted them into prohibited, required and optional.
