Dear Luvma1s,

Please read this first: http://www.english-test.net/forum/ftopic89.html

The verbs you are referring to are called modal verbs.

You can use have to in the past, present and future to express responsibility or necessity.

Here are some examples:

We have to work hard if we want to succeed.
She had to help her mother in the kitchen yesterday.
They will have to make arrangements in advance.
Does he have to attend the meeting?

You can use must to express something that you or a person feels is necessary. This form is used only in the present and future.

Here are some examples:

I must finish this essay before I go on holiday.
Must you work so hard?

Thanks for answering me
You know, now, I have a better knowledge in this problem.

Can you tell me, what's the difference:

This snake is poisonous

But:

This apple is posoned.

Thanks

Poisoned vs poisonous #4 (permalink) Sat Mar 20, 2004 6:56 am   Poisoned vs poisonous
 

A poisonous snake can kill people with its poison because it produces the poison itself.
A poisoned apple had been edible before but someone added poison to it on purpose. Now, you can get in trouble when you eat the apple but the apple.

Hi,

Please read must vs. have to and can vs. able to.

Also, it would be great if you could follow some of the basic rules of the English language. For more information, please read this: http://www.english-test.net/community/index.html#How_can_I_improve_my_writing_skills

Many thanks,
Torsten
