Să înțelegem ce înseamnă aceste cuvinte:

  • must = trebuie, este necesar, important
  • have to = trebuie, dar nu este urgent, poate fi amânat
  • mustn't = nu trebuie (dar nu este la fel de „dur” ca must not)
  • can = a putea, arată un lucru posibil dar care nu trebuie neapărat să se întâmple
  • can't = a nu putea, a nu fi posibil, a nu fi în stare
