Song: You Don't Have To Say You Love Me

Here is a link to a song that talks about choices. This was a big hit in 1966 for the British singer Dusty Springfield. The song is about a woman begging the man she loves to come back to her.

Grammar: Modals of Obligation (Must/ Have to)

We often want to talk about choice. Sometimes we can make a choice but many times we cannot. There are rules and laws that mean we cannot choose to do what we always want to do.

The shop is closing down: the shop will not exist anymore. The shop is selling all its clothes in order to make as much money as possible. It has no choice. All the clothes must be sold. Everything must go!

We use must and have to to talk about choices.
