The present perfect expresses past experience without a specific time and uses 'have/has + past participle.'

In a first conditional, the 'if' clause uses simple present and the main clause uses 'will + base verb.'

- You must to complete the form.
- You should completing the form.
- You must complete the form. (Correct answer)

Correct answer: You must complete the form.
Modal verbs like 'must' are directly followed by the base form of the verb, never by 'to' or '-ing.'

- The report was writing by the manager.

The passive voice is formed with 'be + past participle,' and the agent is introduced with 'by.'

In reported speech, 'will' shifts to 'would' and time expressions like 'tomorrow' shift to 'the next day.'
