He shouted " Eureka " because he understood the phenomenon.

move upwards, rise = go up 

drop from a place where it was attached or contained = fall out

happen as the result of doing something = come from 

fall to the ground= fall down

CONCLUSIONS :



MUST  is used to express obligation,


We usually use MUST  to talk about obligations which come from the speaker and we generally use HAVE  TO  when we refer to obligations that come from outside .


 SHOULD and ought to are both used to say that something is the best thing or the right thing to do, but should is much more common ; HAD BETTER can also be used to say what is the best thing to do in a situation that is happening now.


Use "need to" to express that something is important for you to do. This form is often used for something that is important one time.

Use the negative form of  HAVE TO / NEED to express that something isn't necessary, but possible.


The negative form of  MUST  expresses the idea that something is prohibited.
