You don't have to



"Would" has many meanings.  In my level, we usually use it with requests.
Would you like some water? 

"Would" in this song is past for "will."
I said I would give a vocabulary quiz on Monday.
Today at 11:30 AM: Laurie: "I will give a quiz on Monday."
After Laurie finishes speaking, you can say "Laurie said she would give a quiz on Monday."

Is this the worst Elvis song?  It's a good example of "don't have to.'  What do you have to do?  What are some things you don't have to do?
