Must ka matlab context ke mutabiq “ضرور / لازماً” ya “ضرور ایسا ہوگا” ho sakta hai. “You must wear a helmet” mein helmet pehnna zaroori hai. “He must be tired” thakan ka mazboot andaza hai.
Must for something necessary
Must + verb ki base form use karein: must go, must study. He ke saath bhi must hi rehta hai. “You must stop” = آپ کو ضرور رکنا ہوگا۔ Aam past obligation ke liye had to use hota hai.
Must for a strong conclusion
Situation dekh kar mazboot andaza ho: “The lights are on. Someone must be home.” = روشنیاں جل رہی ہیں۔ ضرور کوئی گھر پر ہوگا۔ Yeh order nahi; speaker ka conclusion hai, confirmed fact nahi.
Must not is different from don't have to
“You must not enter” = آپ کو اندر جانے کی اجازت نہیں۔ “You don't have to come” = آپ کا آنا ضروری نہیں۔ Pehle mein mana kiya gaya hai, doosre mein choice hai.
