Must expresses necessity / obligation
Must is a modal verb. It always keeps the same form in the present.
E.g.: I must study to pass the exams.
She must study to pass the exams.
Negative form = must + not
=
mustn’t
E.g. Mary must not smoke
Mary mustn’t smoke.
Must is always followed by a verb in the infinitive without to.
E.g.: He must practice his English.
