1. If the job requires you to speak French and you have set your mind to learn French, you may say,”I must learn French.” 2. If so, but you say,”I have to learn French, that means you don’t have a choice and you might not be happy about that. 3. I have to admit that there’s no such big difference between these two expressions.
Indeed there is a small individual difference. Either you feel obliged to learn French in order to be able to do the job. Or you feel the necessity to accomplish your level of education. The result is more or less the same, but the reason why you do so may be different. (External obligation or private motivation !)
I'm a native English speaker and I would generally use the positive forms "must" and "have to" interchangeably. To me, "I must study" and "I have to study" mean the same thing. The only differences are that "must" is an auxillary verb, and therefore doesn't have an infinitive or past or future tense, so "have to" is much more flexible and more often used. However, "must" is more formal and direct when imposing an obligation on somebody else, and is generally used to give formal instructions, for example "employees must show up in time for work". However, after watching this lesson I was curious, and looked up the difference on google, and the first several results confirmed what you said, that "must" refers to a personal obligation and "have to" refers to an external obligation. This is a distinction I have never been aware of or knowingly made myself.
Thank you so much for this very interesting lesson. I didn't know before now the difference between 'must' and 'have to' when they are very similar and when they are very different. I answered four out of five questions correctly. I got the third one wrong by answering 'must' instead of 'both are correct' because I thought that losing weight was just a personal decision and not an obligation like in the case of practicing boxing.
It just needs some brackets to memorise the correct meaning of ‘must not‘, e.g.: “You must (not enter) the bathtub with a hair dryer!“, whereas in other languages like German it would be: “You (must not) enter the bathtub with a hair dryer“.
Hi Aga, thanks for this clear and good video, but I don't understand why in the plane they say "you must fasten your seabELt" instead "You have to fasten...', it's a rule, an obligation?
I didn't understand the following: first, it is said that "must" is used for self-imposed decisions and "have to" for decisions made by others, then it is mentioned that the use of one or the other is a matter of formality. "You must fasten your seatbelts on the plane," for formality. However, it is not up to us to decide to fasten the seatbelt. So (rhetorical question), shouldn't it be "have to"? What criterion should be used?
Dear Aga, thank you for the very nice video. I just cannot understand why your t is not silent in the word fasten. Maybe I'm wrong but I think I learnt to pronounce it without t. Thanks again and we are looking forward to your next nice videos.
You are correct. It is much more common for the T in fasten to be silent. However, there are regional variations. It appears that Aga is from a place where they pronounce the T. There is a similar variation in the word OFTEN, which can also be pronounced with or without the T.
I have a slightly opposite understanding between 'must' and 'have to' in the examples you give. Eg, I must learn French is demanded from outside, i.e., the job I am doing requires that I know French whereas I have to learn French just means from my own interest that I want to know French, possibly for me to travel.
I must learn French for this job means that you know that French is necessary in order to function. I have to learn French for this job means that it is a requirement imposed on you. So for me, must means an awareness and have to a requirement.
So, If I'm not mistaken in positive sentence they have opossite meaning, must to comes from internal motivations wereas have to comes from external rules and when we are talking about negative sentences must not comes from external rules or prohibitions and haven't to is the other way around, am I right?
Hello dear teacher, your explanations were perfect I follow your awesome videos from a beautiful village where is located in the north of Shahrood,Iran, I forgot to introduce my village's name, I have to say that its name is Abarsej or in slang is called the Everci
Respected Ma'am, being undisputedly the greatest grammarian of this generation across the globe, you are earnestly entreated with folded hands to explain the nuances in the following sentences -For example,I have no interest in politics.I must admit it frankly.Ma,am, If I re-write the second second sentence like this -I have to admit it frankly- would the meaning remain intact? Can I use 'have to ' in place of 'must' in the second sentence?
I wish all teachers were great just like you whatever you post it’s well explained and understandable

Hi Aga, thanks for this clear and good video, but I don't understand why in the plane they say "you must fasten your seabELt" instead "You have to fasten...', it's a rule, an obligation?
They can both be used for obligation, but must is stronger.
I have to improve my English. Thanx

I would say that is is down to personal choice, they are synonyms.
I appreciate it
Fortunately we don't have to learn french !
Thanks a lot!01.06.23
Your video is very good, I am the first time here !
Thank you!
Dear Aga, thank you for the very nice video. I just cannot understand why your t is not silent in the word fasten. Maybe I'm wrong but I think I learnt to pronounce it without t. Thanks again and we are looking forward to your next nice videos.

A simpler way of understanding the difference is English speakers usually sat ‘have to’ and write ‘must’ just remember that and you won’t go far wrong
Go ahead you are best teacher.@SoundBritish
Thanks Shemeles - I just believe in teaching the simple fast way 🤷♂️
I have the same understanding.
I must learn French for this job means that you know that French is necessary in order to function. I have to learn French for this job means that it is a requirement imposed on you. So for me, must means an awareness and have to a requirement.
Thank you. Best regards from Russia.
Your English is very 😃clear.
Thank you! 😃
Very clear, thax
I'm glad you found it useful!
Thank you for your helpful video.
I almost understand your explanation.
Yiu mean, can you use 'must' as well in case you can use 'have to'? 🙄
'You.'
كلهم صح

Let's apply Occam's razor to this 'rule', shall we?
Must > internal obligation
Have to > external obligation
Fair enough?
Thanks! Subscreibed!
