Hi Hamid,

Before we answer your question we'd like to ask you to correct the spelling mistakes in your question. You probably remember that in English we start each sentence with a capital letter and that the personal pronoun I is always capitalized?

Thanks,
Torsten

Hello all, I was looking on my grammar book and I read that:

When we speak about obligation or necessity in the past, we use have to. when we are referring to the present or future, we use must
Must is used to say that something is prohibited. Have to is used to express a lack of obligation

I hope tis will help.

Hi Mr Torsten
Thank you so much for your lessen 6 now I won't be confused between must and had to
looking forward to your next lessen
good bye

[Nelli87]

but why had to not must. Don;t they have the same meaning?

Hello Torstein,

I enjoy your lessons as they are of great help to both those who have learnt English and those people that have virtually no knowledge of English.I recently forwarded one of the lessons to a friend who was in his inaugural stages of learning English and the response I received was excellent-the lessons are of great help.kudos

I think "have to" is stronger than "must" and "have to" that means polite. Do you think so?
