Hello,
I was looking at a government official home page for immigration and found the sentence below as a part of conditions to apply for a certain visa.
You must not marry or enter into a de facto relationship before entering Australia.
Does this mean;
1) You "must not marry" + "must not enter into a de facto relationship"
or
2) You "must not marry" + "must enter into a de facto relationship"
I know the answer should be (1) from the context but just wanted to make sure from the grammar perspective because I sometimes get confused for these expressions.
Are those negative sentences always like that?
Anything exceptions?
What if it was You must not marry and enter into--------. ?
