"Animals must drink."

Translation: Les animaux doivent boire.

[mvidaki]

why the answer "il faut que les animals boivent" is wrong?

[Sitesurf]

plural of "un animal" is "des animaux"

[mvidaki]

yes...i wrote it in english ...je suis bete :p

Why is it "doivent" (should) instead of "IL faut que les animaux boivent" (must)?

[Sitesurf]

"devoir" is broader in sense than "must": it goes from "have to" to "need to" to "must".

and the construction with "il faut" has the same meaning as "devoir".
