Can 去工作 replace 上班?
Hi,

I just learned that the opposite of "得 (dei) / have to" is "不用 (bu yong)" and that there is no such thing as "不得 (bu dei)" in Chinese, **is that correct?

The sentence patterns I just learned are...
1) 你得休息。You have to rest.
2) 我明天不用上班。I don't have to go to work tomorrow.

***For the second sentence, can I replace 上班 with 去工作?

Thanks.

Answer

上班 is more colloquial but can also mean going to class.  Needs context to differentiate the meaning.
Of course there is such a thing as 不得  = unable to obtain, cannot.

不得不做 = cannot not do i.e  must do
不得你愛 = unable to obtain your love

Answer

1.usually，we use“不用”to be the opposite of “得dei” 
but sometimes we use “不得”，e.g.：你得做个计划you have to make a plan。
                                                                你不得做个计划？（this sentence is a rhetorical question）=你得做个计划you have to make a plan
