3) mustn't vs don't have to(绝对禁止 vs 不必)
规则:mustn't = 不准做;don't have to = 没必要做(可做可不做)。

③ 综合层:义务来源与句型变化
目标:能根据“义务来源”和“句型变化”做出准确选择
1) must vs have to(主观要求 vs 客观要求)
规则:must 多表示说话人主观“我必须”;have to 多表示规则/现实“不得不”。
I must finish this report tonight because I promised my team. 我今晚必须完成报告,因为我答应了团队。(主观)

Must we finish all ten questions now? — No, you don't have to. 我们现在必须做完十题吗?— 不必。
语用提示:这个回答常用于“缓和压力”,语义是“可以不现在做”,不是“禁止你做”。 缓和语气No, you don't have to. Take your time.
3) have to 的疑问句与否定句
规则:一般现在时用 do/does + 主语 + have to ...?;否定用 don't / doesn't have to。

4) 课堂高频交际模板(口语与书面都实用)

④ 提升层:推断、过去义务与易错辨析
目标:掌握常见易错点:推测语气、过去义务、语义误判
1) must / can't 表推测(不是禁止)
规则:有证据的肯定推测用 must;否定推测用 can't。注意这不是“禁止”。

He can't be at home now; I just saw him at the station. 他现在不可能在家,我刚在车站见过他。

语用提示:推测 must 表示把握很高;can't 表示基于证据的否定判断。 笃定She must be the team leader. 强否定He can't be serious.
2) must 没有过去式:过去“不得不”用 had to
规则:出现 yesterday / last night / in 2024 等过去时间,优先考虑 had to。

规则:常见 can I...;真实口语中更礼貌可用 could I...(许可语气更委婉)。
Could I leave five minutes early for my doctor's appointment? 我可以提前五分钟离开去看医生吗?
Could I ask one more question before we finish? 结束前我可以再问一个问题吗?
语用提示:Could I...? 比 Can I...? 更委婉,常用于正式场景、求人帮忙或需要照顾对方感受时。 更有分寸Could I speak to you for a moment?
4) 高阶语感:mustn't 与 can't 的差别
规则:mustn't 常是规则“禁止做”;can't 常是“不能/不可能”。

This answer can't be right because the units don't match. 这个答案不可能对,因为单位都不匹配。(逻辑否定)

⑤ 实战微练:即时判断
说明:先独立填空;屏幕可展开参考答案。打印版不印答案。建议口头解释「为什么不是别的选项」。
1) The sign says “No Photos”. Visitors ______ take photos here.

参考答案(教师讲评用,打印时不显示)
mustn't(绝对禁止)
don't have to(不必)
had to(过去“不得不”)
must(肯定推测)
Can / Could(请求许可)
can't(否定推测)
自检清单:
看到“规则、标志、危险”先想:是不是 mustn't。
看到“可做可不做”先想:是不是 don't have to。
看到过去时间词先检查:是否要用 had to。
看到证据推断先区分:must be / can't be。
⑥ 总复盘:成对辨析
目标:把全讲最易混点做最后一次“成对辨析”与“快测复核”。
mustn't vs don't have to You mustn't park here. 你不准在这停车(禁止)。 You don't have to park here. 你不必在这停车(可选)。
must vs have to I must call my grandma tonight. 我今晚必须给奶奶打电话(主观)。 I have to wear a uniform at school. 我在学校必须穿校服(客观)。
must be vs can't be The lights are on. He must be at home. 灯亮着,他一定在家(肯定推测)。 He can't be at home. I saw him outside. 他不可能在家,我刚在外面看见他。
have to vs had to I have to finish it today. 我今天不得不完成(现在)。 I had to finish it yesterday. 我昨天不得不完成(过去)。
收束快测(再核对 4 题):
The sign says “Danger”. You ______ swim here. [mustn't]
Must I finish this now? — No, you ______. [don't have to]
My bike was broken, so I ______ walk home yesterday. [had to]
That man ______ be our teacher; our teacher is abroad. [can't]
核心结论:先判断“语义”(能力/许可/义务/禁止/推测),再选“形式”。
出现过去时间词时优先检查 had to;危险禁令优先检查 mustn't。
易错提醒:mustn't(绝对禁止)≠ don't have to(不必)。
推测题中「他不可能是……」常用 can't be,不是 mustn't be。
