练习 1
Fill in the blanks below with the correct form of the verb.

Tomorrow, Dr. von Headcold must an emergency appendectomy on a very sick little girl. Afterwards she will Bruno for his monthly check up, in order to monitor the state of his Anosmia. Dr. von Headcold really her job.
Fill in the blanks below with the correct form of the verb.
Tomorrow, Dr. von Headcold must [not done] perform 1 an emergency appendectomy on a very sick little girl. Afterwards she will [not done] meet 2 Bruno for his monthly check up, in order to monitor the state of his Anosmia. Dr. von Headcold really [not done] loves 3 her job.
Tomorrow, Dr. von Headcold must [not done] perform 1 an emergency appendectomy on a very sick little girl. Afterwards she will [not done] meet 2 Bruno for his monthly check up, in order to monitor the state of his Anosmia. Dr. von Headcold really [not done] loves 3 her job.
1 perform: In the simple present tense, when a verb directly follows a modal auxiliary (would, could, should etc), we must put it in the infinitive form (without 'to').
2 meet: To create the simple future tense, we take the auxiliary 'will' and follow it with the infinitive form of the main verb, in this case 'meet'. We use the infinitive form of the verb without 'to' in these cases. Note: the future progressive tense can also be used here: Dr. von Headcold WILL BE MEETING with Bruno.
3 loves: The third person form of the verb 'to love' is loves. The simple present tense can be used to describe a general feeling or opinion, such as the fact that Dr. von Headcold loves his job.
练习 2
Icarus's Mother : That was a really long flight, you be exhausted.
Icarus: Actually, I slept the entire time. They showed some good movies, but I not very interested.
Icarus: Actually, I slept the entire time. They showed some good movies, but I not very interested.
Icarus's Mother : That was a really long flight, you must 1 be exhausted.
Icarus: Actually, I slept the entire time. They showed some good movies, but I was 2 not very interested.
Icarus: Actually, I slept the entire time. They showed some good movies, but I was 2 not very interested.
1 must: We use 'must' here to express a likely or probable assumption or conclusion. It was a 'long flight' so Icarus 'must' be tired.
1 have: We cannot use 'have' here without the infinitive 'to' preceding it. 'You have to be exhausted' would be correct, although it is a little awkward.
1 was: 'Was be' is not a valid grammatical construction.
2 was: We need to use a conjugated verb which agrees with the past tense form of 'interested'. 'Was' is the best choice here.
2 must: 'Must' is only an auxiliary, and we need a verb here. We could not say 'I must not very interested'.
2 have: 'Have' would only work as an auxiliary in this case, and we need a verb here.
练习 3
Icarus: I get to work before I'm late.
Icarus's Mother : be so nervous. You'll have one of your attacks.
Icarus's Mother : be so nervous. You'll have one of your attacks.
Icarus: I must 1 get to work before I'm late.
Icarus's Mother : Don't 2 be so nervous. You'll have one of your attacks.
Icarus's Mother : Don't 2 be so nervous. You'll have one of your attacks.
1 must: We use 'must' here to express an obligation. Icarus 'has to' get to work.
1 have: We cannot use 'have' here without 'to'. 'You have to get to work' would correctly express the sense of obligation in this sentence.
1 do: 'Do' is grammatically incorrect here. We need an auxiliary to correctly complete this sentence
2 Don't: In this case we need a conjugated verb. 'Don't' correctly introduces the imperative statement.
2 Mustn't: We cannot use 'mustn't' here because we need a verb, not an auxiliary.
2 Haven't: We cannot use 'haven't' to give direct commands such as the imperative 'don't be so nervous'.

1 You must be intelligent: This is the best choice here. 'You must be intelligent' is not a direct order for someone to be intelligent, but usually an exclamation. For example: 'I can't believe you just recited the first fifty pages of the Bible from memory! You must be intelligent'.

1 You need to be intelligent: This is not the meaning of the sentence.

2 You should be intelligent: This is not the meaning of the sentence.

3 You need to be intelligent: This is not the meaning of the sentence.
