The document discusses the differences between the modal verbs "must" and "should" as well as "must" and "have to". "Must" expresses strong obligation or necessity from the speaker's point of view, while "should" suggests something advisable. "Must" cannot be used for past obligations, where "had to" is used instead. "Have to" expresses objective obligation from an external source rather than personal views.
1. Should vs. Must Stores must give out recyclable plastic bags. We should use re-usable bags when shopping. The car industry must change engines that burn fossil fuels. We should select cars that are more fuel-efficient. We must protect our environment, or our resources will disappear. We should protect our environment. It makes good sense. We use must to express a stronger point of view. "We need to..." "We have to..." The modal must also expresses opinion, one person's point of view. We use should to suggest something. "It is advisable to..." The modal should expresses opinion, one person's point of view. MUST SHOULD
