以上我们已经通过归纳总结对本课的语法内容有了一定的了解，下面就让我们根据
之前练习的考察情
况进一步选择讲解
该语法项的重难点。
Modal Verb: must
情态动词: must
must是情态动词，没有人称或数的变化，后接动词原形，其主要用法如下：
表示义务或必要性，意思是“应该、必
须”，通常用于肯定句及疑问句。
You must go to bed now.
你现在必须睡觉了。
Must I start at once?
我必须立刻出发吗？
2. must的否定式是must not/ mustn’t，意思是“不应该、禁止”，语气较强烈。
You must not smoke here.
你不许在这里吸烟。
We mustn’t be late again.
我们不应该再迟到了。
3. 由must引出的一般疑问句，肯定回答用must，否定回答用needn’t, don’t need to或don’t have to均可，但不用mustn’t，因为mustn’t表示“不许、禁止”的意思，与问句的原意不符。
—Must I stay at home?
我必须留在家里吗？
—Yes, you must.
是的，你必须留在家里。
— No, you needn’t. /No, you don’t have to.
不，不用了。
如果是反意疑问句，疑问部分一般不用needn’t, 而用mustn’t；否定回答时仍用needn’t, don’t need to或don’t have to.
—You must go on foot, mustn’t you?
你必须走着去，是吗？
—Yes, I must.
是的，是这样。
— No, I needn’t. /No, I don’t have to.
不，不是的。
4. 当说话人对所发生的事情进行推测时，must的意思是“一定、准是”，主要用于肯定句，否定句常用can’t。
He must be a doctor.
他一定是个大夫。
She is not at home. She must be out.
她不在家里，她一定外出了。
注意：must表示推测，用于反意疑问句时，疑问部分不能用must, 应与其后面的动词保持一致。
She must be home, isn’t she?
她一定在家里，是吗？
Tom must have a sister,doesn’t he?
汤姆肯定有一个妹妹，是吗？
5. must与have to的区别:
I must be off. Thank you for your help.
我得走了。谢谢你的帮助。
We have to be there early.
我们得早点去那儿。
1) 表示(主语)主观的义务或必要时用must；表示(主语)客观因素的义务或必要时用have to。have to含有“不得不”的意思。
2) have to可以放在will后面构成将来时，而must则不能。
误：He will must go there tomorrow.
正：He will have to go there tomorrow.
正：He must go there tomorrow.
他明天必须去那里。

Do you know what a fable is?
A fable is a fictional story about animals, plants, forces of nature, etc. It always has a moral lesson.
What’s a moral?
A moral teaches about right and wrong, and good and bad.
寓言早在我国春秋战国时代就已经盛行。当时一些思想家把寓言当成辩论的手段。为了在政治主张上战胜对方，为了阐明自已的观点，互相责难，辩论，往往取材于古代神话、传说、民间故事或谚语。通过艺术加工，用鲜明生动的抽象的代替议论进行激烈的争辨斗争。
世界各国的寓言作品也很多。世界最早的寓言集是《伊索寓言》，其它比较著名的寓言集或寓言较集中的作品有《克雷洛夫寓言》、《列那狐的故事》《百喻经》《拉封丹寓言》 等。
