My experience with "Should", "I Have to" and "Must": Making linguistic choices in English.

DAY (5)

A new opportunity to discover new or unknown words in my English language.

Introduction:

Hello everyone! Today I want to share with you my personal experience using three very common English words: "should", "I have to" and "must". Throughout my learning of the language, I have discovered that these words have different nuances and understanding how to use them correctly can make a difference in the way we express ourselves. Let me tell you how I have used them in different situations and how these language choices have influenced my effective communication in English.

Let's explain as I show you my realized evidence to better guide us!

"Should": this word is very useful when we want to give advice or suggestions. I have used it frequently to express recommendations based on my opinion or experience. For example, when a friend asked me for suggestions on what to do in a city I had visited before, I said, "You should visit the local market; it's a great way to experience the culture." (You should visit the local market; it's a great way to experience the culture). Using "should" allowed me to offer my advice without sounding too imposing.

The modal verb is SHOULD.

"I have to": I use this expression when I want to communicate a personal obligation or duty that does not necessarily imply a recommendation. For example, when my boss assigns me an important task, I might say, "I have to finish this report by tomorrow." Here, "I have to" emphasizes that it is a responsibility that I must fulfill, without giving room for alternative options or suggestions.

The modal verb is SHOULD.

"Must": This word denotes a stronger obligation and is used when there is an established rule or requirement. I have used it in situations where there is no room for personal choice.

The modal verb is SHOULD.

For example, if I am reading the rules of a contest and find a clear instruction, I would say, "Participants must be at least 18 years old." (Participants must be at least 18 years old). Here, "must" establishes an unbreakable rule that all participants must follow.

The modal verb is SHOULD.

Conclusion:

As I have deepened my knowledge of English, I have learned to properly use the words "should," "I have to," and "must" according to context and communicative intent. These linguistic choices have allowed me to express recommendations, personal obligations, and rules clearly and accurately. By mastering the use of these words, I have improved my ability to communicate effectively in English and achieve mutual understanding in different situations.

Remember that each of these words has its own subtlety and you should become familiar with them in different contexts in order to use them correctly, so go ahead and practice and discover how "should", "I have to" and "must" can enrich your English expression!
