                      You must study                                                             You have to exercise

We use MUST and HAVE TO to say that it is necessary to do something. Sometimes, it doesn´t matter which you use:

* It is later than I thought  I must go  or   I have to go.

But, there is a difference between must and have to and sometimes this is important.


Must is personal. We use must when we give our personal feelings.
You must do something. I (the speaker) say it is necessary.
           She is a really nice person. You must meet her
Have to is impersonal. We use have to for facts, not for our feelings.
You have to do something because of a rule or a situation.
·         You can´t turn right here. You have to turn left (because of the traffic system).

If you are not sure which to use, it is usually safer to use HAVE TO.


You can use must to talk about the present or future, but not the past.

* We must go now.

You can use have to in all forms.

* I had to go to hospital (past).

Mustn´t and don´t have to are completely different.

You mustn´t do something= it is necessary that you do not do it (so, don´t do it).
You must keep it a secret. You mustn´t tell anyone.
You don´t have to do something= you don´t need to do it (but you can if you want).
I am not working tomorrow, so I don´t have to get up early.
