Should, must and have to

Should፣ must እና have to

Give advice and talk about rules and things you need to do.

How it works

Use should to give advice. Use must and have to for rules and strong obligations.

ምክር ለመስጠት should፣ ለደንቦችና ለጠንካራ ግዴታዎች must እና have to እንጠቀማለን።

Advice: should / shouldn't · ምክር፦ should / shouldn't

You should drink more water. You shouldn't stay up late.

የደኅንነት ቀበቶ ማሰር አለብዎት። ቅዳሜ መሥራት አለብኝ።

mustn't = it's not allowed · don't have to = it's not necessary

mustn't = አይፈቀድም · don't have to = አስፈላጊ አይደለም

After should and must, use the verb with no to: You should go (not You should to go).
