1. A right is something you are allowed to have or do (e.g., the right to education).
2. A duty is something you are required to do (e.g., paying taxes or respecting the law).

💡 À retenir : Rights are what you get; duties are what you give.

2. Respecting your teachers and classmates.
3. Helping those in need.

No, they are different:

1. Mustn't: It is forbidden (prohibition).
2. Don't have to: It is not necessary (you can do it if you want, but you don't have to).
