Quiz playing is a wonderful way to increase your knowledge of English as a Second Language. Remember that all of our ESL quizzes have titles that are both friendly and technical at the same time… In the case of this quiz you might like to tell your friends about “If You Must” but no doubt your teachers will talk about the “Various Tenses quiz”! If you hear a technical term and you want to find a quiz about the subject then just look through the list of quiz titles until you find what you need.
Practise using the word 'must' in various tenses in this quiz, if you must!
'Must' is one of those useful, everyday - but slightly 'funny' - verbs in English that doesn't really have a proper Infinitive form ('to must' [?] )! But obviously, we need to express this idea, and other shades and types of obligation, in lots of situations and various tenses. Here's your chance to practise!
English speakers sometimes say 'If you must...' in a situation where someone else does a thing that the speaker does not really approve of, and/or would have no wish to join
