Explanation

We use must + a base verb to say that something is necessary or a rule: You must stay on the path. We use mustn’t (must not) to say that something is not allowed: You mustn’t feed wild animals. Must has the same form for all people: I must, she must. Questions are not common for rules. We can also use have to for the same idea: You have to wear a hat. Read the rules for a nature trip: they are written for visitors and use must and mustn’t. A rule is often followed by a reason with because: You mustn’t touch the coral because it is delicate.
