When do you use should/must or don’t have to.
Advice: you use should & shouldn’t to give or ask for advice.
You use must & mustn’t for strong advice.
You must hurry! ~do it -> strong advice
You mustn’t hurry. ~don’t do it -> not necessary.
You mustn’t smoke in this room.
We often use have to to show that the obligations comes from another person or institution, not
the speaker.
Don’t have to and mustn’t are very different.
Don’t have to = it is not necessary (you don’t have to hurry)
Mustn’t = don’t do it -> strong advice.
Past perfect: In 2009, he had lost his job. (had + vd vorm)
De past perfect kenmerkt zich door de actie die in het verleden begon, en die afgerond is
wanneer een andere actie in het verleden op komt zetten. Het verschil met de present perfect is
dus het stopmoment van de actie. Bij de present perfect ligt dat moment in het heden, bij de past
perfect in het verleden.
Past simple: In 2010, he founded this company. (vt-vorm )
Het kenmerkende aan deze tijdsvorm is dat het meestal een gewoonte, feit of een actie uitdrukt,
die geheel is afgerond in het verleden.
