The word mightn't is a contraction, a shortened form of the auxiliary verb 'might' and the adverb 'not'.

'Might not' is most commonly used to express negative possibility:

  • She might not have taken the bus.
  • She mightn't have taken the bus.

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence. The pronoun 'she' takes the place of a noun (name) for a female as the subject of the example sentence above.

It is a contraction of 'might not', and 'might' is a modal verb, meaning that it is always followed by another verb.

'Might not' is most commonly used to express negative possibility:

She might not have taken the bus. She might have walked home.

or used in the conditional ('might' being the conditional form of the verb 'may'):

Even if I entered the contest, I might not win.

When expressing possibility 'might. is usually interchangeable with 'could' or 'may'.

In summary, 'mightn't is most certainly a verb.

The word 'mustn't' is a contraction for 'must', a shortened form of the auxiliary verb 'must' and the adverb 'not'.

The contraction functions as an auxiliary verb and is used mainly in spoken English rather than written English.

Examples:

You must not tell your father about the surprise.

Or:

You mustn't tell your father about the surprise.

We must not be late for school.

Or:

We mustn't be late for school.

The word mustn't is a contraction, a shortened form for must not.

The word 'must' is an auxiliary verb and the word 'not' is an adverb used to modify the verb.

Example:

You must not disturb grandma while she's napping.

You mustn't disturb grandma while she's napping.

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence.

Example: When George got to 19th Street, he got off the train.

The pronoun 'he' takes the place of the noun 'George' is the second part of the sentence.
