Dear Sir Kirk ,
I need to know what is the meaning of the word works: The Works is this course ?
Best Wishes
Hello medmomo,
'Works' can refer to pieces of writing by authors. For example, you might see a book entitled 'The Complete Works of Shakespeare' which would contain everything Shakespeare ever wrote. That may be the meaning here but without knowing the context I cannot say for sure. Unless 'The Works' is a title (of a play, a film or a book, for example) then it would not have a capital letter but would be 'The works...'

Hi sir,
Could you please explain what are the meaning of these phrases.
"mustn't grumble"( still I don't understand this)
"what have you been up to" my feeling is "what is your present situation"
Hello dlis,
'grumble' is a common verb (follow the link) and 'mustn't' is the negative form of 'must' - you can see more about it on our Modals 1 page. You are right about 'what have you been up to?' - it basically asks what a person has been doing recently, which is often another way of asking how they are.
All the best,

"Must not" can be written as "Musn't". Can we call it a "Contraction" of "must not"?
Hello Scholar12,
Almost! 'musn't' is not spelt correctly -- instead, write 'mustn't'. Yes, this is a contracted form of 'must not'. You can read more about 'must' and other modal verbs in our modal verbs section.
