Ngoài ra, có rất nhiều bạn thường hay “hiểu lầm”trong cách sử dụng từ “MUST”.Chú ý nhé theo sau “must” KHÔNG được có TO nhé. Đừng nhầm lẫn với “have to”, dù rằng cả 2 đều mang hàm ý giống nhau.

• He must to submit his assignment by Thursday.

lack (of)

• He is lack of intelligence.
• He lacks of intelligence.

When used as part of a noun phrase, include of:

Correct

• He has a lack of intelligence.

Khi được sử dụng như một động từ, “lack”  không kèm theo giới từ “of”

Khi sử dụng some/most/all dùng sau chúng là “of the” chứ không phải “of”

some/most/all (of)

When using these, use them without of or with of the:

Effect (on)/affect

Affect là động từ trong khi effect là danh từ. Không sử dụng affect với “to” và dùng effect với “on”
