Fill in the blanks.
1We ............... either watch a movie or go for a drive.
Wrong!
Use "could" to suggest one possible option.
2You ............... meet him today because he is leaving tomorrow.
Wrong!
Use "must" for a strong recommendation when something is urgent.
3Which sentence is a correct question for asking advice?
Wrong!
The correct question for asking advice is "Should I talk to the manager?"
4Working on the weekend is optional, so you ............... do it.
Wrong!
Use "don't have to" to say that something is not necessary; because it is optional, it is neither forbidden ("must not") nor advised against ("should not").
5Which recommendation is the strongest?
Wrong!
The strongest recommendation is "You must talk to him immediately."
6I ............... wake up early yesterday because my flight left at 6 a.m.
Wrong!
Use "had to" for a past necessary action caused by a situation; "must" has no past form, and "should" would need "should have woken".
7You ............... go out without wearing a coat.
Select 2 answers.
Wrong!
Use "should not" or "must not" for a strong negative recommendation or prohibition; "need not" would mean it is unnecessary, which makes no sense here.

Wrong!
Use "could" to suggest a possible plan.
9You ............... talked to her like that because it really upset her.
