SOME TIPS
- Remember that "mustn't" and "don't have to" are completely different.Ex: you mustn't use a dictionary. (It's not allowed/ don't do it).
Ex: you don't have to use a dictionary. (It's not necessary. The text is very easy). - When "mustn't = is not allowed to" It means the same as "can't".Ex: you mustn't leave the class during the exam = you can't leave the class during the exam
