Questions & Answers about คุณ ต้อง แปรง ฟัน ทุกวัน ครับ
How do I use ต้อง to say 'must' or 'have to' in this sentence?
You place ต้อง (must) immediately before the action word (verb). Here, the main verb is แปรง (to brush), so 'must brush' is simply ต้องแปรง.
The English translation says 'your teeth', but I don't see a word for 'your'. Why is it missing?
Thai often leaves out possessive words like 'your' or 'my' when it is obvious from the context. Since the sentence starts with คุณ (you), it is already clear whose teeth are being brushed, so you only need to say แปรงฟัน (brush teeth).
Can the word แปรง (brush) be used as a noun, like a physical toothbrush?
Yes! แปรง can be used as an action word (to brush) or a thing (a brush). In this sentence, because it comes right after ต้อง (must), we know it is acting as a verb.
Where should time phrases like ทุกวัน (every day) go in a sentence?
Time phrases in Thai usually go at the end of the sentence, just before polite particles like ครับ or ค่ะ. You might also see them at the very beginning of the sentence, but putting ทุกวัน at the end is very common and natural.
