Uses of Modal Auxiliaries

[sumon.]

Hi everyone.

Between Head master and Old Student :


Student : May I come in Sir?

H.M : Yes, Can I know why you are late?

Student : I could not catch the 9.20 bus, Sir.

H.M : Hereafter you must come late. (I think here It would be mustn't or shouldn't.)

Student : No, I won’t Sir.

H.M : You won’t get up early.(I think here it would be should)

Are these modal auxiliaries used correctly?
Ref:Modal Auxiliaries : Letters : Parts of English : Alphabets

Thank you....

You are right and the example is wrong. Some of the dialogues on that page make almost no sense. I hope you are not paying to use that site. The teacher's last line can also be "You must" instead of "you should" but "early" should be "earlier."

Between Head master and Old Student :


Student : May I come in Sir? OK.

H.M : Yes, Can I know why you are late? "Can you tell me.....?" or "Tell me...." or "Why are you late?" would be better.

Student : I could not catch the 9.20 bus, Sir. OK

H.M : Hereafter you must come late. (I think here It would be mustn't or shouldn't. Yes)

Student : No, I won’t Sir. OK.

H.M : You won’t get up early.(I think here it [STRIKE]would[/STRIKE] be should Yes)

I agree. It's possible that some of the dialogues may be acceptable in Indian English - I just don't know - but do not use that page if you are interested in standard British or American English.
