Key Points
Definitions and Usage:
Must: A modal verb indicating obligation, but with a less strict connotation. It is often used for recommendations or strong advice.
Have to: Indicates a stronger obligation or necessity, often used in everyday situations.
Grammatical Rules:
Affirmative Form:
"Must" and "Have to" can often be used interchangeably. For example: "I Must go" and "I Have to go" both convey the same meaning.
Negative Form:
"Must not" (mustn't) indicates prohibition (e.g., "You Must not eat shellfish" means it is forbidden).
"Do not Have to" indicates lack of necessity (e.g., "You do not Have to pay" means it is not required).
Interrogative Form:
Use "Have to" for questions rather than "Must" (e.g., "Do you Have to work tomorrow?" instead of "Must you work tomorrow?").
Common Usage:
In spoken English, contractions are frequently used (e.g., "I gotta" for "I Have to").
The speaker notes that native English speakers often prefer "Have to" in casual conversation.
Methodology or Instructions
Understanding Differences:
Memorize that "Must" and "Have to" both express obligation but are used differently based on context.
Practice using "Must" for recommendations and "Have to" for obligations.
Pay attention to the negative forms to avoid confusion between prohibition and lack of necessity.
