hi james thank you so much for your explanation

[moacir2]

Hi James, I appreciate your explanation, however... from observing real-life situations many times, must and have to are interchangeable. Fact / Belief - good contrast... but not enough scope: how about: Parent: "You must be home by 11 tonight." Kid: Can't stay longer. I have to / must be home by 11". In actual terms I only tell my Ss: must no "to" - following... ;-). Thanks again for the videos.

Thanks for the videos. You're handsome, by the way. :-)

They both have the same meaning and can be used interchangeably.

"must" and "have to" are just expressing a necessity to do something and don't necessarily mean you believe it to be true (although in my previous sentence, you could replace "necessarily" with "have to" but not "must").

I must go to school.

I have to go to school.

I need to go to school.

All three express a necessity to go to school because of previously established requirements.

Ur awesome! I clearly understand ur lessons, thank u very much.

[MICHALE24]

thanks to shuring my good teacher !

[TheGreendizer]

From the lesson,I have understood that we use "must" in concepts, thoughts and goals but we use"have to" in works.

For example:1- I have to study English well because i must be well English speaker.

2- because we must beleive in God, we have to obey his instructions.

Is the above right?

Thanks

I was tought at school that we use 'have to' when it's our will do to sth, and must when sb tell us to do sth. Is it a good way of explaining?

[starlet3526]

[baymagic]

Hi James, i have a question for you. What is/are different between "have to" and "have got to". I watched some video from utube's user but made confused than understanding tho your point different then others i like it. Here are example. Drivers have got to get a license to drive a car in the US. (necessity) 2. I have got to be at work by 8:30 AM (obligation) Can I use have to in these sentence? Thank you for video and giving time. Peace :-D

[renski336]

LOL is it SOMEFHING, instead of SOMETHING???

[alam55555tfl]

[BeatLiam]

[nikisgareshe]

I I have to comment, thank you, because i want you to add more vids :)

[HeuSama]

i've thought that the difference was formality, must to situations more formel and have to for informal situations
