You are to take the little girl to her school
I was to call you yesterday but I couldn't
They were to visit thier mother but they didn't
you are not to invite your friends to our party
Subject + be + to + infinitive
what does this construction call ?
and could you explain me how and when should I use it ?
what are its usages ?
is it similar to must and should ?
is it contained any obligation sense ?
