Thank you :)

From tomorrow onwards, we need to reach the school before the prayer starts. Can we replace 'Need to' in the above sentence with 'Must' without change in meaning ?

[@TeachersMarkandMatt]

*Must* is stronger than *need to* in my opinion. But I think they can be used interchangeably.

[@learningenglishwithindrajeetks]

@@TeachersMarkandMatt sir, please reply one more question I have already asked in this video's comment section.

[@learningenglishwithindrajeetks]

Is it correct to use 'Must' in place of 'Have to' in the following sentence ? I have to get up early these days.

[@TeachersMarkandMatt]

Yes. In spoken English especially, I would say that must and have to have the same meaning. Some teachers and textbooks will argue that the origin of the obligation (speaker or outside the speaker).

You don't have to deprive yourself of your favorite food with "8/16". Give it a try. And my question is about "shouldn't have to" and how it differs from "don't have to".

[@TeachersMarkandMatt]

Hey! Good question! shouldn’t have to = you are criticizing a rule or obligation. Ex: Some Americans think they shouldn’t have to wear a mask.

[@julianeterra]

I must do my homework. You need to have more time to rest. He need to stop drink juice, because it contains a lot sugar. We should read newspaper everyday. She doesn't need to be hurry to leave.

[@TeachersMarkandMatt]

Wow, this is great! Sorry I missed this! 1. ✅ 2. ✅ 3. He needs to stop drinking juice, 4. We should read *the* newspaper every day. 5. She isn’t in a hurry/rush to leave. Or She doesn’t need to hurry/rush.

You should go Jim.

Why don't you like Jim?

I'm confused in 'Need to' Modals aren't singular verbs. So, is the sentence "She needs to take medicine" correct ?.. 'Needs to' seem awkward.

[@TeachersMarkandMatt]

It’s correct ;) ( I / You / We / They ) need to ( He / She / It ) needs to He needs to do his homework before he plays video games. That’s the rule. She needs to pay attention in class or she will definitely fail her english exam! I need to do the laundry! If I don’t, I won’t have any clean clothes for tomorrow!

Students shouldn't/ don't have to worry about their future - a careers advisor can help them. Hello! What had I better say here? Thanks a lot in advance! Are both options correct?

[@TeachersMarkandMatt]

Students shouldn’t have to worry about their future. = It is a bad thing that students need to worry about their future. So, a career advisor is available to help them.. Students don’t have to worry about their future. = Students don’t need to to worry about their future - it is the career advisor’s job to help them. So they’re close! You can use both ways.😃

[@marcogaiotto2028]

@@TeachersMarkandMatt That's very kind of you! Thanks a lot once again!

[@marcogaiotto2028]

@@TeachersMarkandMatt Sorry! I meant: Students shouldn’t worry about their future. and Students don’t have to worry about their future. Do you still think I can use both of them? Thanks a lot once again!
