Modal Verbs Fomu

Must ni kitenzi kisaidizi cha modal. Baada ya must na mustn’t, tunatumia umbo la msingi la kitenzi (V1) bila to. Have to ni muundo tofauti: pia hufuatwa na kitenzi, lakini umbo la have hubadilika: have to, has to, had to.

must + V1
mustn’t + V1
have to / has to / had to + V1
don’t / doesn’t / didn’t have to + V1

  • Baada ya must na mustn’t, tunatumia tu V1 bila to. Baada ya have to, pia tunatumia kitenzi kikuu katika umbo lake la msingi, lakini muundo wenyewe unajumuisha to.
    ❌ You must to go now.
    ✅ You must go now.

    ✅ He must wait.
    ✅ He has to wait.
    ❌ He have to wait.
