Obligation	Must (I must, when you impose the obligation yourself)	Have to (usually for rules  or laws)
Prohibition	Mustn’t /Can’t / isn’t- aren’t allowed to
No necessity	Don’t / doesn’t have to
Advice / recommendation	should / shouldn’t ought to / ought not to

We learnt about cultural differences. Different countries or cultures, different manners.

“When in Rome, do as Romans do.” (When you travel abroad behave as the people behave in their countries)

We also learnt what we should and shouldn’t do when giving presents in different countries. And which presents should or shouldn’t give.

We went on a tour of London. We started talking about present simple and present continuous.
