You have to have a licence to drive a car.
You don't have to have a licence to cycle on the roads.

Try this exercise to test your grammar.

Grammar test 1

Modals - permission and obligation: Grammar test 1

Read the explanation to learn more.

Grammar explanation

We often use verbs with modal meanings to talk about permission and obligation.

Permission

We often use can to ask for and give permission.

We also use could to ask for permission (but not to give it). Could is more formal and polite than can.

May is the most formal way to ask for and give permission.

Prohibition

We use can't and mustn't to show that something is prohibited - it is not allowed.

We use can't to talk about something that is against the rules, particularly when we didn't make the rules.

We use must not to talk about what is not permitted. It is common on public signs and notices informing people of rules and laws.

We use mustn't particularly when the prohibition comes from the speaker.

(Parent to child) You mustn't say things like that to your sister.
(Teacher to student) You mustn't be late to class.
I mustn't let that happen again.

Obligation

We use have to and must to express obligation. There is a slight difference between the way we use them.

Have to shows us that the obligation comes from outside the speaker.

We have to wear a uniform when we're working in reception.
(Student to teacher) When do we have to hand in our homework?
Al has to work tomorrow so he can't come.

We sometimes call this 'external obligation'.

Must expresses a strong obligation or necessity. It often shows us that the obligation comes from the speaker (or the authority that wrote the sentence).

I must phone my dad. It's his birthday today.
(Teacher to student) You must hand in your homework on Tuesday or you will lose ten per cent of your mark.
(Sign on a plane) Seat belts must be worn by all passengers.

Note that we don't use must to express obligation in the past. We use have to instead.

I had to pay £85 to renew my passport last week.

No obligation

don't have to

We use don't have to to show that there is no obligation. You can do something if you want to but it's not compulsory.

Do this exercise to test your grammar again.

Brooklyn 99 is a smartly written, consistently entertaining, emotionally engaging sit-com you can binge watch guilt-free. Episodes are only 20 minutes long. The series is set in a busy New York police station and every episode is packed with one liners. Not only is this cleverly written series laugh out loud funny, the cast deliver storylines we actually care about.

For me, the show’s strength is its diversity and characters we quickly grow fond of. The cast is made up of immature, Jake Peralta, a rookie cop with a Die Hard obsession, Charles, his ‘nerdy’ side kick and the impossibly dry Captain Holt. The show avoids lazy stereotypes around race and gender and there is no tacky canned laughter. Don’t get me started on canned laughter!

The series has witty dialogue, some stand out performances and watch out for Gina the precinct’s fabulous administrator and gossip. Brooklyn 99 is clever, funny and inclusive. Perfect entertainment for busy IEB students. With each episode less than half an hour long you can watch an episode this long weekend and still have time for all your sporting activities. What’s not to love!

Carol Dweck researches “growth mindset” — the idea that we can grow our brain’s capacity to learn and to solve problems. In this talk, she describes two ways to think about a problem that’s slightly too hard for you to solve. Are you not smart enough to solve it … or have you just not solved it yet? A great introduction to this influential field.
