§Grammar and usage

Must + base form; must (strong duty felt by the speaker: 'I must study') and have to (duty from outside rules: 'I have to wear a uniform'); mustn't (prohibition: 'You mustn't smoke here') is different from don't have to (no necessity: 'You don't have to come'); must have + past participle (a logical conclusion about the past: 'He must have left'); the past of must (obligation) is had to ('I had to go').

यह बहुत पूछा जाता है: must + base form; must (वक्ता द्वारा महसूस किया गया प्रबल कर्तव्य: 'I must study') और have to (बाहरी नियमों से कर्तव्य: 'I have to wear a uniform'); mustn't (निषेध: 'You mustn't smoke here') don't have to (आवश्यकता नहीं: 'You don't have to come') से भिन्न है; must have + past participle (अतीत के बारे में तार्किक निष्कर्ष: 'He must have left'); must (कर्तव्य) का past had to है ('I had to go')।

The t is often silent in 'mustn't' (/ˈmʌsnt/).

'mustn't' में t प्रायः silent होता है (/ˈmʌsnt/)।
