required by law or rules

If something is compulsory, you must do it because a rule or law says so.

תבנית שימוש: [something] is compulsory for [someone] / it is compulsory to [verb]
טעות נפוצה:
Learners sometimes confuse "compulsory" with "compulsive". "Compulsory" means something is required by a rule or law (e.g., "compulsory education"), while "compulsive" describes a strong, hard-to-control desire or behavior (e.g., "compulsive eating"). Another mistake is using "very compulsory"; instead, use words like "strictly compulsory" or simply rely on context. Also, note patterns: "It is compulsory to wear a helmet" or "Wearing a helmet is compulsory," not "It is compulsory wear a helmet."
