use of must

1. Start with a Simple Demonstration (5 minutes)

  • Act out a situation: Teacher walks into the classroom and says,
    ๐Ÿ‘‰ "The floor is wet! You must be careful!"
  • Ask students:
    Why did I say 'must' in this sentence?

    1️⃣ Rules & Obligations (You must wear a seatbelt.)
    2️⃣ Strong Advice (You must try this dish!)
    3️⃣ Logical Deductions (He must be at home; his car is outside.)

2. Interactive Practice (15 minutes)

  • This helps them grasp affirmative and negative forms interactively.

    • Doctor: You have a fever. You must drink hot soup and rest.
    • Patient: Okay, doctor. I must take my medicine too!

    • Encourage students to make logical deductions (e.g., It must have rained! Someone must have stolen the jacket!).

4. Wrap-Up & Quick Quiz (5 minutes)

  • Ask students to create 2 sentences using must.
  • Give feedback and correct mistakes.
