45. Obligation: Must vs. Have to
Quick Lesson
1Must
- Internal Obligation: "I must call my mom." (I feel I should).
- Written Rules: "Passengers must wear belts."
2Have To
- External Obligation: "I have to work." (Boss says so).
3The Negative Difference (Crucial)
- Mustn't: PROHIBITION. "You mustn't smoke." (Don't do it!).
- Don't Have To: NO OBLIGATION. "You don't have to come." (You can if you want, but it's not needed).
