"Must"
and "have to" are both modal verbs that are often used
interchangeably, but there is a subtle difference in their meaning and usage.
"Must"
implies a personal obligation or strong recommendation, while "have
to" implies a requirement or external obligation imposed by someone or
something else.
For
example:
·
"I
must finish this project by tomorrow" implies a personal obligation or
strong recommendation to complete the project by tomorrow.
·
"I
have to finish this project by tomorrow" implies that there is an external
requirement or obligation, such as a deadline set by a boss or a contract.
In other
words, "must" suggests that the obligation or recommendation comes
from the speaker, while "have to" suggests that the obligation or
requirement comes from an external source.
However, in
many contexts, the two can be used interchangeably without changing the meaning
of the sentence.
