"No, we don't (we don't have to). The working hours begin t 10 am."

They 'don't have to' do the cleaning in the lab so early in the morning, do they?"

Yes, they do (they have to). There's no other time. Part-time students work there till 10 in the evening."

Thank you in advance for your efforts.

Regards.
