English Expression

Question 1

Good deal

Answer 1

a lot ; Awful

Question 2

rules about Must

They will must be here by 8:00 tomorrow morning.

Answer 2

Don’t use the word “to” with must. There isn’t any must to. It’s a common mistake. Two modals do not go together.
1. We don’t use must for the future.
e.g. Have you got to be there by 9:00 tonight?
We don’t say
Must you be there by 9:00 tonight?

2. We don’t use have got to for prohibition.
   e.g. You must not open the window when the air conditioner is on.
   We don’t say
   You have not got to open the window when the air conditioner is on. (This sounds really awkward and weird!)
3. We don’t use have got to in the present perfect.
   e.g. It must have been her calling.
   We don’t say
   It has got to been her calling.

Typically, have got to expresses necessity/obligation from outside; whereas, must usually indicates self-imposed obligation/necessity.
