Quick answer Don’t have to means unnecessary while mustn’t means forbidden, and the two never swap; may shows possibility; Could I is politer than Can I; a third person singular subject takes has to; have to forms questions with do or does; must be is a conclusion drawn from evidence rather than an obligation.

04 What to do after marking
- After marking, redo only the wrong items and write down which step went wrong (formula, unit, or misread number).
- Repeat the same item two days later; move to the next paper only when both attempts are correct.
- Parents only need the answer and note columns; there is no need to explain every item.
