Have to vs. must? Sun Jul 20, 2008 9:27 am  Have to vs. must?
 

Hi,

'Ought to' usually indicates another type of 'obligation'. This time it's a moral one. It's similar to 'should' and suggests it's the right and proper thing to do as in: You ought to respect your parents/You ought to set a good example to your children by the way you behave/You ought to pay your taxes and so on. It conveys the idea of duty.

I think that we can use "must", when we are talking about rules that should be done...

Hi,

I am confused over the use of 'should' here:

I should go now because I am already late for my class.

Is it correct grammatically? And if yes, how is it different from 'must' and 'have to'? I have read the previous posts explaining that 'should' is similar to 'ought to' but do you think that 'should' is far more polite than 'must' and 'have to' or 'ought to'?
