Модальне дієслово must має значення необхідності виконання дії, суворого обов’язку. Крім основного значення обов’язку виконання дії і заборони дії, дієслово must виражає емоційну пораду: Model: You must stop worrying about your examinations. You mustn’t give another thought to what he said.
Модальне дієслово must в цьому значенні вживається в стверджувальній і заперечній формі. Must може виражати припущення, яке містить сильну вірогідність в підтексті. Model: He must be ill. He looks so pale. It must be late as the streets are deserted.
В цьому розумінні must вживається тільки в стверджувальній формі. В таких випадках з модальним дієсловом must вживають дієслова у різних часових формах. При цьому мають на увазі теперішній час. Model: Jane must read the book. You must stay in the classroom.
Must в поєднанні з перфектним інфінітивом означає, що дія відноситься до минулого часу.
Model: He must have finished his work – Він, напевне, вже завершив свою роботу.
Must в поєднанні з перфектним тривалим інфінітивом означає дію, що почалась в минулому часі і продовжується до моменту мовлення.
Model: Oleg must have been reading this book. He is absent today.
Дієслово to have to для вираження обов’язку або необхідності дещо відрізняться від must. Воно перекладається як доводиться, змушений. В цьому розумінні воно вживається як в розповідних, так і в питальних і заперечених реченнях. В розмовній мові значення обов’язку і необхідності також виражається через have (has) got to. Цей вираз вживають у всіх часових формах і з простою формою інфінітива: Model: He has got to go right now. Has he got to go right now? He hasn’t got to go just yet. Цей вираз вживається також і в минулому часі, хоча і не дуже часто, наприклад: He had got to work himself. Exercise 22. Перефразуйте речення, вживаючи модальне дієслово must. Зробіть всі необхідні зміни.
Model: He must have finished his work. – Він, напевне, вже завершив свою роботу. 1. It was planned that the students should wait for the tutor in the reading hall. 2.
