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.
