If you think must and have to are practically the same thing, you are wrong. And this is why.
Now, great news! This lesson comes with a free PDF worksheet. So click up there, or click the link in the description and you can download my lesson notes on this video. It comes with all the explanations, all the examples and a test to test your knowledge on the difference between must and have to.
We use both these verbs to talk about obligation, like you must do your homework or you have to do your homework. And also probability. Like wow, she got 100% on her exam, she must be clever. So sometimes these mean almost the same thing, like you must do your homework, you have to do your homework. But sometimes they don't and they mean very different things. So to help me explain this category, which most students get confused with, I'm going to divide the lesson into five parts.
First we'll look at obligation in the present tense, and then obligation in the past tense, then probability in the present, probability in the past. And we cannot learn this topic without looking at topic number five, how to use should. So let's go.
We can use both must and have to in the present tense to talk about obligation. But there's one very important exception that I'm going to explain in this section. So first let's look at how to use must talking about obligation in the present tense. And we normally use this for things like rules and regulations. Like you must check in 40 minutes before the time of your flight. You must wear a mask at all times in the airplane.
We can use must in the negative to explain that something is forbidden, that it is prohibited, and to form it in the negative is very simple. Instead of must, we say must not. For example, you must not smoke inside the building or you must not arrive late. Simple.
Now, we use have to in the present tense again to talk about obligations. We don't use this so much for things that are regulations and rules, but simply things that are necessary. For example, you have to practice if you want to improve. I have to go to work early tomorrow because I have a lot to do. These are both things that are necessary. They're not regulations or rules, but they are necessary things. And that's why we use have to.
Now, for the big exception in the present tense, when we use have to in the negative, it completely changes the meaning. If we use must in the negative, you must not smoke inside the building, that means that it is forbidden. But if we use have to in the negative, it means that something is not necessary, but you can do it if you want. For example, in a hotel, if we say you must not take the key with you when you leave the hotel. That means that it is forbidden to take the key outside the hotel. However, if we say you don't have to take the key with you, that means you can if you want, but it's not necessary.
Do you see the difference? You must not means it's forbidden, but you don't have to means you can if you want, but it's simply not a necessity. It's not necessary.

You've got the best explanations ever! I've learnt so much through your channel since I started following it earlier this year.
Greg pls make a video on the 12 tenses
Realy nice .
Great lesson now
APPRECIATION FOR YOUR VIVID EXPLAINATION .
NICE đLECTURE
Please don't change the video convention anymore - this is absolutely perfect. Definitely world-class, professional level.
The video is not distracting by the fountains and allows you to focus 100% on the lesson. I am very glad that you are doing what you are doing. I have 98-99% understanding and I am a b1 / b2 student.
The only thing I would suggest are the subtitles on the left side of the screen, not on the right. But that's probably a personal preference. Maybe if you drive cars the other way round, it suits you better. ;) Good luck.
The subtitle can be placed wherever you like by dragging it with your mouse.
Thanks â€â€
That's just what I need.

Don't give up the fight!
Is the difference between must and have regarding obligations restricted to American English? Cos according to Michael Swan's, Have to is usually preferred for regulations and orders from other people cos the obligation comes from the "outside" while in Must the obligation most often comes from the speaker in statements (and the listener in questions). For example, I must stop smoking. (I want to.) Vs I have to stop smoking. (Doctor's orders)
Your language really very nice!
Hello Greg, I love your videos †thank you :) I am an English teacher and am going to share this one with my students in this week's newsletter. It is a particularly tricky topic for Italians as they use the identical phrase for both 'mustn't' (prohibition) and 'don't have to' (absence of obligation) making it necessary to understand the context.
Your video explains everything very well, however I would appreciate clarification on 1 point you made on âmust notâ as related to probability/speculation, because it goes against what Cambridge considers correct for their exams...
The opposite of 'must be' / âmust have beenâ (certainty) is 'can't be' / âcanât have beenâ (impossibility) - and not, as you have stated, âmustnât beâ / âmustnât have beenâ. (Even though, as a native speaker, I used these forms too until I began preparing students for Cambridge exams.)
According to Cambridge, 'must not + verbâ is only used in the present for prohibition. Instead 'canât + verbâ / âcanât have + past participleâ is used for probability and speculation to express an impossibility in the present and past.
You go to a friendâs house you ring and no one answers - You could say:
âThey must be out.â / âThey canât be home.â / âIt must be that they aren't home.â But according to Cambridge it is an error to say âThey musnât be home.â
You went to a friendâs house you rang and no one answered - You could say:
âThey must have been out.â / âThey canât have been homeâ / âIt must be that they weren't home. But according to Cambridge it is an error to say âThey musnât have been home.â
Help? :)
đ Bingo! When I was a 20-year-old teaching English for the first time in France, I taught this to my class, and the French teacher stopped me and corrected me in front of everyone. The way she did it made me felt really stupid, and Iâve never forgotten this bit of grammar. So yes, it would appear that Cambridge consider this to be wrong. However, Iâve always preferred to teach what people actually say rather than what Cambridge tell us we should say. And you most definitely hear âThey mustnât be homeâ etc.
Thanks for commenting đ
@@EnglishWithGreg hahaha perfectly illustrates one of the reasons I live in Italy and not France ;) Being an amurican native speaker (and therefore insecure;) preparing Italians for Cambridge exams, I prefer to look to Cambridge as an authority, but I love what you've got to sayđ€ cheers!
I absolutely agree HELLO-MYNAMEIS âŠ.. Iâm an English teacher to foreign students here in Italy ⊠Iâve been teaching for 30 years and we do NOT use âmustâ in the way he is explaining!
Also, I must add, we always teach that in obligation âhave toâ is used for rules , regulations & laws. The obligation comes from an external font âŠ
âYOU HAVE TO WEAR A SEAT BELT âŠ. ITâS THE LAWâ
Whereas âmust â is used as a personal obligation coming from the speaker
âI MUST WASH MY HAIR TONIGHTâ
âWE MUST PAY OUR GAS BILL THIS WEEKâ
Must is also an imperative âŠ. so an obligation coming from a parent or teacher.
â YOU MUST CLEAN YOUR ROOMâ
âYOU MUST STUDY HARDERâ
Sorry! I like the way Greg explains ⊠by all means ⊠but I strongly disagree with the explanation regarding âmustâ !
Dear Greg! Then how to say I did not have to do smth in the past - when it was forbidden? Just use the phrases like smth was banned , was not allowed or it was forbidden???? Many thanks!
All that is cristal clear! Very well explained and easy to understand to a French English learner!

Hi Sir
I 'm trying to prepare for the C2 cambridge exam. I have difficulty with the writing task. So practical examples( not just theoretical knowledge, not the format itself of each) of articles, reviews,letters on various topics would be very helpful.How can we prepare for these tasks, how to select ideas.....the best way to improve in this regard and be ready in the day of the exam for any challenge faced with. I don't know if you got my point
My regards
this is the topic that i'm looking for.
About "must"
i confuse about this word
what about 'must be ' meaning deduction as well as 'should 'in the past expressing complaint?
Splendid lesson ! The difference between must and have to is : using â have toâ when you have no choice you have to do that. Is that correct ?
You are welcome.
Thank you for useful lessons! I tried to download your worksheets but never received on email đą
... excellent ...
Îi Greg. Could you make a video about the difference between «by» and «from»? ΀hank you in advance.
Nice

The best
Is it correct to say that "must" used with "you" is an order given, and used with the other persons is something the the subject personally wants?
Thank you for clear explanation.
They should have gone to the son's birthday party. I appreciate that. Thumbs up! Cheers!
Greg, all my reservations are now gone. Thanks for your presentation
Haha đ€Ł I appreciate it Sir absolutely approximately understand enough of but when I will watch again This video so I hope that I would be understanding so stay happy forever âŸïž and thanks đđ Sir đ
The "must not" part is very difficult for german speakers. Nowadays, when we use the german equivalent to "you must not" (du musst nicht), it does NOT mean "it is forbidden" but instead it means "it is not necessary". My grandparents generation on the other hand used it the other (=the british) way, so it seems that this has changed over the last 50 years.
I sometimes hear or read "I must go" which is not about regulations.
What would be the difference between "must not" and "may not"? I've heard "may not" in the smoking example - "You may not smoke in the room".
Could you tell me the difference between may and might. And how can i use ought ?
Ought is similar to should. Ought is not very common and can sound a bit pretentious.
Congratulations.
what is the true meaning of "spare"? because it has many meanings, depending on the sentence
I need pdf of this lesson
TQ
I must have a pill for speacking English like you.
If it had not been for, what is mean?
Greg, in one of your video lessons you suggest listening to music, songs in English. Well, I've been doing it for years. I began when I was a teenager, years before the internet, where you can find lyrics of every song you can imagine.
So, should + have + p.p? And in my head immediately pops up this example. I wonder if you recognize the song without Google :)
I should have known better with a girl like you
That I would love everything that you do
And I do, hey, hey, hey, and I do...
What difference between these is and this is ?
Thanks
The correct forms are: These ARE/ This IS - THESE is plural and THIS is singular - they are sometimes confused because people make the error of pronouncing them both the same, but THESE is pronounced 'THEEZ' with a long E vowel and a Z, and THIS is pronounced 'THIS' with the schwa sound and S :)
First thanks a lot.
Can you make a video how to use âI would have had âŠ.â And âI have had âŠ..â, please
This lesson was very difficult for me!
Hii sir could you plz make a video on full uses of can , could any more i mean full uses of modal , sometimes I don't get it why could uses like this, you could say what does this mean plz make a video on this topic sir because nobody can explain like you do you always cover all uses
Thanks a bunch for video! And i also heard from Paul Washer (american missionary, preacher): "You've got to believe in Jesus..." As i understood that means .. You MUST believe.. If it's not difficult Greg answer it this way or not?
I find this one difficult because in common practise hardly anyone follows these rules so whats the point. They are used interchangeably and hardly anyone says "you must not smoke in here" but instead "you cant smoke in here" or your not allowed to smoke in here
Absolutely agree
@@tatyanagorobtsova I wouldn't want to teach this to a class because they will go outiside and hear people saying whatever they like lol
In British English, is it not "Practise" (verb) not "Practice"?
Yes - you are correct.
also can use Mustn't
Must means deduction toođ
Thank you. Gerg. But I'm confusing about the explanation. Because some other Videos say: have to rule and must is necessary. Now I donât know which one is right. đą
Shouldn't " can't " be used instead of "mustn't" in strong past probability?
Greg, did you explain somewhere here such crazy things as: the infinitive,the infinitive constructions, the participle and the participle constructions, the gerund? These are all pretty crazy issues and it`s quite difficult to deal with them on your own. Or may be does your another advanced course contain all that stuff, I mean the course on WhatsApp?
Teacher i need this pdf i write my gmail then its not download or not entered my ducoment
Hi Greg, a few days ago I came across a sentence â If I started getting into it at 27, probably by the time I was 29, I was at a very high intensity level.â , which was used by a lady talking about her past in an interview . The âifâ clause here looks like a subjunctive clause, but I think itâs not. Could you please tell me whether Iâm right or not? Iâm quite confused, because before I stumbled across this sentence, I thought all âifâ clauses in past tense are subjective . Need your help, thank you.
English speaker. I have no idea how to parse that quotation. I suspect the speaker started talking before she knew what was going to say. It looks like a strange IF - THEN structure. My recommendation: forget that you saw this.
Hi, Greg, and thanks for the explanation. It seems they taught us a complete rubbish back in school days. Or perhaps you could kindly explain. We were taught "have to" covers obligations, while "must" covers rather "moral" obligations. Better explained on example, "I have to do my homework" means (was supposed to mean) that I was ordered to do my homework (not exactly a "rule", but based on your explanation, you'd use "must" there instead, right?), while "I must do my homework" means I need to do my homework, voluntarily, therefore I have no free time for example (I guess you'd use "need to" as I did in the explanation? Or still "must"?). Does the difference we were taught make any sense?
'I have to do my hw' almost equal to 'I must do my hw'. Have to - you're obliged to do sth, must - because if rules, regulations, norm etc: You must keep silent in the library but You have to leave earlier (otherwise, you'll miss the train)
@@lovelysinichka4532 Thanks. So actually anything I decided to do (as well as I was ordered to do) is "have to", except when my decision coincidentally match some general rule? If I'm ordered to leave the place by an officer, do I have to leave or must I leave?
@@wickedsick110 you seem to be a perfectionist as I am) As for your example, I'm pretty sure BOTH variants are possible!
In questions like 'Must I...?' it sounds archaic, thus Do I have to...? is appropriate. In affirmations both are used
Can you do the transilation in arabic?

There is a Polish guy on CZcams who is English native speaker (born in Poland but moved to the USA when he was a child so he speaks like a native) who claims that the people shoud not use "must" at all. That they always should use "have/has to". He grew up in Philadelphia so I think it might have had some effect on him. Perhaps they don't use there or rarely use "must"??
How would you say âsmoking was forbidden in a cafe, but now it is not forbidden.â Is this ok? âYou must not smoke in this cafe last year/yesterdayâ
