    MUST OR HAVE TO?

    PDF
    Must and have to are both verbs in English, but they are used differently. We use
    must when talking ab0ut something certain and subjective, whereas have to is
    used to talk about obligation that is objective.

    When to use must:


    We use the modal verb must when we want to express personal obligations or
    express what the speaker think is necessary. Overall, the modal verb must is
    related to obligations that are subjective to us.

    Examples:
    I must stop smoking.
    You must visit us soon.
    He must work harder.

    How to use the modal verb must:


    Must is a modal auxiliary verb. It is always followed by the main verb, and this is
    how it structured:

    Subject + must + main verb.

    The main verb here is only the base without “to”.
    Let’s look at some examples:
    Rest of the
    Subject Auxiliary must Main verb
    sentence
    I Must Go Home.
    You Must Visit London.
    We Must Stop Now.

    As the examples shows the main verb is only the base verb without “to”.
    Incorrect: I must to go home.
    Correct: I must go home.

    When to use “have to”:


    We often use have to express impersonal obligations, things that often related to
    others or on oneself. Therefore, have to is often objective rather than subjective.

    Examples:
    I have to walk the dog.
    In London you have to drive on the left.
    Salama has to be at work on time.
    Children have to go to school.

    As we can see from the examples, the obligation is not subjective rather the
    obligation is imposed from the outside, objective.

    How to use “have to”:

    It is worth to clarify that “have to” is not a modal verb in fact it is not even an
    auxiliary verb. It comes to serve as substitute for “must”, because it is enabling
    people to express the idea of obligation or duty.

    www.needgrammar.com
    The structure of “have to” is:
    Subject + auxiliary + have + infinitive (with to).

    Let’s see some examples:

    Form Subject Auxiliary Main verb Infinitive Rest of the


    verb “Have” (with to) sentence

    Affirmative She Has To work

    Negative I Do not Have To see The doctor

    Question Did you Have To go To school
