Notes:

1. To ask someone if they have done something in the past, you can say: Have you been to Beijing before; Have you seen the Great Wall? 如果问某人在过去是否做过某事，你可以说：Have you been to Beijing before? (你以前去过北京吗？); Have you seen the Great Wall? (你见过长城吗？).

2. You must know it quite well. You can use this expression you must...when you think something for certain, e.g. after a long busy day: You must be tired. 你一定对它非常了解。当你非常确定某事时，你可以用下面这个表达法：You must...(你一定...), 例如：在某人忙碌了一天之后说：You must be tired (你一定累了).
