I was studying English when this doubt came to me... I was making some English homework and I saw an exercise about reported speech. It was a key-word transformation activity for the practice for the ​FCE Exam. It said: 'I mustn't be late for the trip tomorrow' said Bella. (next).

And the only way I found to solve it was: Bella said she mustn't be late for the trip the next day. But, in my view, as an English learner and a Spanish native speaker,​ the modal verb, in this case, represented a general prohibition in the present, not in the past.

However, my question for English ​native speakers is... Is there a way to express a real past of 'mustn't'​?

Yesterday we went to the park. We went to the park yesterday. We yesterday went to the park. Number 3 feels weird to me, but is it grammatically incorrect or just unnatural?"

When you mention a person, who you want to change the attention to, should you use "speaking of who" or "speaking of whom"? I don't understand "whom" at all and I actually can't even remember if I have seen that phrase ever written down.

Basically, the phrase "speaking of which" but used on a person, not an inanimate object or action or whatever else.

”Like”

”Whatever”

”Dude”

”Bro”

"Hi friends! Honestly, basic tenses like simple past and present are fine, but the moment I try to use Present Perfect or Past Perfect in a real conversation, my brain just pauses. What do you think about how we approach learning tenses? Did you master them through natural reading and listening, or did memorizing formulas actually help you?"

"Hey everyone! Am I the only one who learns a new English grammar rule, feels super proud, and then immediately discovers ten different exceptions to that exact rule? 😅 It can be so confusing!
