I must water the garden first.
SUSAN: Do you have to water it now?
PETER: I'm afraid I must.
Look at it!
It's terribly dry.
SUSAN: What a nuisance!
PETER: Last summer it was very dry, too.
Don't you remember?
I had to water it every day.
SUSAN: Well, I'll have tea by myself.
SUSAN: That was quick!
Have you finished already?
PETER: Yes.
