Page 96 ex 1 - write the expressions along with their translations in your notebooks

to point at someone - a arata cu degetul pe cineva (RUDE!)

Ex 4 / 96 to be written on your notebook
Ex 5/ 96 - listen and answer
ex 7, 8 / 97 - do not forget to listen to the text at least once !

As homework post in your portfolios   at least 4 sentences with ' must / mustn't / have to / don't have to ' about yourself , your obligations and prohibitions. 

12th May ; Live Microsoft Teams ! Good Friends ! Obligation ; Necessity ; Prohibition


must / have to


Must and have to are used to express obligation. When we use must this usually means that the obligations comes from the speaker, it’s like a personal obligation, whereas have to normally means that the obligation is external.
  • must give up smoking. (I need to, I say so)
  • have to give up smoking. (I’m obliged. My doctor says so)

mustn’t / don’t have to


The negative forms mustn’t and don’t have to are completely differentMustn’t is used to express prohibition (an obligation not to do something), whereas don’t have to is used to express an absence of obligation. 
  • You mustn’t reveal where you get the information. (=you have the obligation not to do it)
  • You don’t have to arrive before 7. (=you can do it, but it’s not necessary, there’s no obligation)

Suffixes :

First conditional :

1.The first conditional is often used for promises.
