Different Ways to Use "Must" and "Should" in Spoken English


When learning English, it is important to understand how to use must and should. Both words express advice or obligation, but they are used in different ways.

Key Concepts:

Must (जरूरी है) is used for strong obligations or rules. For example, "You must wear a seatbelt." (आपको सीट बेल्ट पहननी चाहिए।)

Should (चाहिए) is used for advice or suggestions. For example, "You should eat more vegetables." (आपको अधिक सब्जियाँ खानी चाहिए।)


Usage Examples:

1. "You must finish your homework." (आपको अपना होमवर्क पूरा करना चाहिए।)

2. "You should call your friend." (आपको अपने दोस्त को फोन करना चाहिए।)

3. "We must respect the rules." (हमें नियमों का सम्मान करना चाहिए।)

4. "You should try this restaurant." (आपको इस रेस्तरां को आजमाना चाहिए।)


Key Mistakes:

1. Using must for advice: "You must see a doctor" can sound too strong. Instead, say "You should see a doctor." (आपको डॉक्टर से मिलना चाहिए।)

2. Confusing should with must: Remember, must is for rules, while should is for suggestions.


Understanding these differences will help you speak English more clearly and confidently!
