The difference between MUST and HAVE TO

"have to" and "must" both express obligation. But there is a subtle difference. "have to" expresses objective obligation and modal verb "must" expresses subjective obligation.

Watch this lesson to learn the explanation of this difference. You will learn the form of both "have to" and "must" as well as the difference in meaning an use. There are lots of example sentences to help you understand.

This lesson was presented by Andrew, a qualified native British English teacher with over 15 years experience of teaching English.

Hi Teacher Andrew!


Thanks you so much for this video lesson. The explanations are concise and understandable. It`s good to make such kind of video because many native and non-native speakers pretty often mixed up of these two words. I have watched other video lessons on such topic, but yours are explicit, meaning easy to understand. Bravo! You are an excellent English teacher.


Despite the world facing corona virus, you do not abandon us in providing valuable video lessons. On this note, may I say long live teacher Andrew!


Once again, thanking you for your commitment and dedication.


With best wishes,
Fazil

Hello, teacher, from Greece!
I hope you are very well!
I sent you all my best wishes!
Now, I must tell you about this lesson...
However, I don't have such a vocabulary (in English language) to express
what I really want!
So, I almost always repeat the same things!
I am sorry a lot for it!
Anyway, the truth is clear and simple!
In other words,
in this case(in your case)
the truth is almost obvious:
You are the best teacher!
When you are teaching,
all the issues, all the lessons seem to be easy and understandable!!!
Thank you very much, teacher!
I am very glad that I can learn English with you!!!
God bless you!

This Topic is awesome 👌 🌲 SUGGESTIONS (1) We must use the word "RULE" is better than the word using the " LAW" . Rules is applicable not only for LAW but anything. No one can teach this lesson in detailed as you

Hi sir, this is super informative because I have a sense that these two have completely different meanings in some situations but my teacher said that they were the same. So thank you very much for clearing this up for us.
