§ 3 Must to express supposition
Must is used to express supposition bordering on assurance, the conclusion that something is certain or highly probable: He looks so pale. He must be ill.
1. In this meaning must is used with all the forms of the Infinitive (the Indefinite Infinitive if the action refers to the present and the Perfect Infinitive if the action refers to the past) in affirmative sentences only. It corresponds to the Russian должно быть:
They must want me for something else.
He must be suffering!
What a comfort you must have been to your mother!
She must have been waiting for us for an hour!
2. To express supposition referring to the future the modal word probably is used: She will probably come tomorrow.
In negative sentences supposition is expressed by means of the modal word evidently: Evidently, she did not know my address.
Moreover, must + verbs to fail, to distrust, to dislike, to disapprove, to disbelieve, to misunderstand or words nobody, never, nothing are used to convey supposition with strong probability with negative meaning: She must have failed to pass her exams. – Должно быть, она провалила экзамен. I must have misunderstood you. – Должно быть, я не понял Вас. Nobody must have told the truth. – Должно быть, никто не сказал правду.
§ 4 Compare must and may for supposition and
prohibition
Notice some peculiarities in the usage of must and may:
1. May/might denotes supposition implying uncertainty: He may be an actor. His face is familiar to me. Наверное, он актер. Его голос мне знаком.
Must denotes supposition implying strong probability: He must be an actor. His voice carries so well. – Должно быть, он актер, у него поставленный голос.
2. In negative sentences it is impossible to use ‘may not’ as an answer to express prohibition. In this case must not or cannot is used: May I smoke here? ~ No, you mustn’t (you can’t). – Нет, нельзя.
