Vokabeln & Grammatik

should / shouldn't: der friendly Rat

Mit should + Infinitiv gibst du einen Rat oder eine Empfehlung — freundlich, nicht verpflichtend. Die Verneinung ist shouldn't: You shouldn't run when the sun goes down. Should bleibt in allen Personen gleich (I/you/he/we should).

You should slow down, take a breath, look around.

Du solltest langsamer machen, durchatmen und dich umschauen.

must und have to: Notwendigkeit

must drückt eine starke Verpflichtung aus, die oft vom Sprecher selbst kommt; have_to (ausgeschrieben: have to / has to) beschreibt äußere Notwendigkeit — Regeln, Termine, Umstände: She has to travel, the library closes at six. In der Umgangssprache ist have to oft die natürlichere Wahl.

He must study, but he plays guitar. / She has to travel, but she can't go far.

Er muss lernen, aber er spielt Gitarre. / Sie muss reisen, aber sie kann nicht weit weg.

don't have to ≠ mustn't!

Der Klassiker-Fehler: don't have to heißt ‚du musst nicht' (es ist nicht nötig — aber erlaubt), mustn't heißt ‚du darfst nicht' (verboten). Im Song: You don't have to be perfect — Perfektion ist keine Pflicht, aber verboten ist sie auch nicht.

You don't have to be perfect. (= not necessary) — You mustn't run when the sun goes down. (= not allowed)

Du musst nicht perfekt sein. — Du darfst nicht laufen, wenn die Sonne untergeht.
