WHEN TO USE THE VERBS MUST - HAVE TO - NEED TO EXPLANATION

Hi There!!!

What's up?

In this post, you are going to learn how to use the following verbs in english language.

MUST - HAVE TO - NEED TO

Must Do  -->  Obligations

Use "must" to express something that you or a person feels is necessary.

This form is used only in the present and future.

Must you work so hard?

John must explain this if he wants his students to succeed.

It's late. I must get going!

Mustn't Do  --> Prohibition

The negative form of "must" expresses the idea that something is prohibited.

This form is very different in meaning than the negative of "have to"!

She mustn't use such horrible language.

Have to Do  -->  Responsibilities

Use "have to" in the past, present, and future to express responsibility or necessity.

Does he have to go?

Don't Have to Do  -->  Not Required, but Possible

The negative form of "have to" expresses the idea that something is not required.

It is, however, possible if so desired.

They didn't have to work so hard.

She didn't have to attend the presentation.

IMPORTANT: The past form of "have to" and "must" is "had to."

"Must" does not exist in the past.

Need to Do  -->  Important for Someone

Use "need to" to express that something is important for you to do.

She needs to go to Seattle next week.

Do you need to get up early tomorrow?

I need to spend more time with my children because I've been so busy lately.

We need to focus on getting new business this month.

Don't Need to Do  -->  Not Necessary, but Possible

Use the negative form of "need to" to express that something isn't necessary,

but possible.

At times, English speakers use "don't need to" to express that they don't expect someone to do something.

She doesn't need to worry about her grades. She's a great student.

I don't need to work next Monday!

In interrogative sentences, we use MUST when we mean "Is this really necessary?"

To make questions with MUST, we put MUST before the subject.

Examples

Must he answer every question?


In negative sentences, we use MUSTN'T when we mean "Don't do this"
