must

modal verb/mʌst/CEFR A2

অবশ্যই, করতেই হবে

Meaning

Used to say something is necessary, or that you are sure it is true.

Example sentences

You must wear a helmet.তোমাকে অবশ্যই হেলমেট পরতে হবে।
She must be tired after the journey.যাত্রার পর সে নিশ্চয়ই ক্লান্ত।
We must reach before eight.আমাদের আটটার আগেই পৌঁছাতে হবে।

A common mistake

He must to go now.→He must go now.

modal-এর পরে to বসে না — must go, can go, should go। কেবল 'have to' ও 'ought to'-তে to থাকে, কারণ ওগুলো পুরোপুরি modal নয়।
