Hi,

The use of the modal will/shall ('ll) in your sentence is not needed because 'next time' simply means 'when' here.

i think there is a relation between two sentences, "Next time you come to my house" and "You must bring that book". while using the the second sentence with moral verb, we must use present simple in the first sentence and using the future verbs is wrong.

Niaz, your sentence should read:
Yes, I want to know the same. Why can we not say, "next time...

'Yeah' and 'wanna' are not standard written English forms.
The pronoun 'I' is always capitalised.

Alan gave the answer above.

oops.ok!
I still have problem Beeesnees,if next time means when so it's look like we say when you come to my house, you must bring the book.but i think it's still means future we can not say you are coming because we do not know the exactly time but can we say next time you'll come to my house, you must bring the book?

You cannot use 'you'll/ you will with either of those sentences.

No, it has nothing to do with the fact that you are using 'must'. 'You will' is the wrong tense.
