Your new flatmate left you a note on the fridge. Choose the correct words to complete it! ๐งน
"Hey! A few things about the flat: We have to take the bins out every Thursday โ the council collects them Friday morning. You don't have to clean the bathroom today because I already did it this morning. Oh, and the landlord said we must keep the front door locked at all times. Safety first! ๐"
The correct answer for the first blank is have to.
Have to is used for an external obligation โ the council sets the collection schedule. Note: "must to" is never correct.
The correct answer for the second blank is don't have to.
Don't have to means there is no necessity โ the bathroom is already clean, so it's not needed.
The correct answer for the third blank is must.
Must is used here because the landlord is giving a strong, direct instruction about safety. Both "must" and "have to" can express obligation, but "must" often reflects the speaker's/authority's strong personal insistence.
