语法小结 Grammar
情态动词 must 和 have to

(1)情态动词 must 和 have to 都有“必须”的意思，但have to 表示客观的需要，而must表示说话人主观上的看法，认为有义务、有必要去做某事

My little brother was very ill, so I had to call a doctor.

我弟弟病得厉害，我只得请医生了。（客观需要做）

She said that she must work hard to get a high mark.

她说她必须得努力学习得高分。（主观需要做）

(2)have to 有人称、数、时态的变化，而must只有一种形式

He has to do it. 他必须得做。

I had to look after my brother because of his illness.我得照顾我弟弟，因为他病了。

(3)have to和must的否定

have to需要有助动词do/did/does的帮助才能表示其否定式，其否定式为doesn't /didn't /don't have to, 表示“不必”；而must的否定式是mustn't, 表示“禁止”，例如：

You don't have to tell her about it. 你不一定要把此事告诉她。

You mustn't tell her about it. 你一定不要把这件事告诉她。
