Modal Verbs:
Prohibition, Obligation and Permission

When we want to express permission,


prohibition (not allowing something),
obligation or no obligation, we use
modal verbs.
A. Prohibition – can’t,
mustn’t
Can't and mustn't (must not) are
used to show that something is
prohibited or not allowed.
Examples:
You can't go into that restaurant without a tie.
You can't drive in this country unless you are over eighteen.
You mustn't use your phone in class.
Can't usually gives the idea of something that is against the
rules.
Mustn’t usually means that it is the speaker who is setting
the rule.
B. Obligation – have to, must
Have to and must are both used to express
obligation. There is a slight difference in the way
both are used.
Have to shows that the obligation comes from
someone else, not the speaker. This is usually
referring to a rule or law.
Examples:
We have to be in the airport at least two hours before the
flight.
I have to work on Saturday.
They have to wear their uniforms in school.
My doctor said that I have to stop smoking or I'll risk serious
problems. (I have no choice).
Must shows us that the obligation comes from the speaker.
Examples:
I must hand in my thesis by tomorrow.
I really must call my parents.
I must stop smoking. It’s costing me too much money. (It’s my
decision).
We use don't have to to show that there is no obligation. You can
do
something if you want but it is not an obligation.
Examples:
You don't have to wear a tie to go to that restaurant
but it would be nice.
You don't have to wait for me. I could get a taxi.
Students don't have to wear uniforms to school.

Can is most often used to ask for or give permission.
It is also possible to use could but it is not often used
as can.
Examples:

Can I go now?
Could I open the window?
