摘要:The article aims at a logical approach to discussing must,organized around the core meaning of necessity, split into epistemic (logical necessity) and deontic necessity (obligation).After discussing must as a central modal auxiliary,we present various meanings of must,relying on authoritative sources published for international (English),Hungarian,and Romanian students.Possible issues of teaching must are also dealt with,supported by data from a popular TV series containing modal verbs.The conclusion discusses the importance and relativity of a number of occurrences,trying to offer a possible teaching option for modals stemming from practice.
