Hello!

Is it possible to say I heard your sales results were excellent. May you get a bonus this year?

Which is the best alternative must or have to... Do you know if we must/have to have visas for the Caribbean?

Thank you in advance!

Is it possible to say " May you get a bonus this year-- I suppose that it is grammatically possible, but it certainly not normal. ' Which is the best alternative must or have to... -- 'Have to'(= obligations from an outside authority) is the choice according to many grammar books, but actually both are in use for both inner and outside obligation.
