Don't have to

---

Word for the day - covering words you may want to avoid, as their meaning is not the same.

Don't have to... or No tienes que...

"You don't have to go."  (you can if you want - it's optional)

"No tienes que ir." (you shouldn't go - it's not a good idea)

This morning my son, who is a bilingual 8-year-old, was talking about going to the park.  He said, "We don't have to forget my skate board."   I spent a few minutes explaining his mistake.  Now, we are off to have fun with his new friends who are supposed to teach him some tricks!

Food for thought. . .
