A must 表示由说话人加予的义务：

have to 则表示外界的义务：

Employer：You must use a dictionary．I'm tired of correcting your spelling mistakes．

2 外界的权威

你在值班时必须穿制服，是吗？

C 第三人称的例句
这时 must 主要用于书面指令或指导：
Railway company：Passengers must cross the line by the footbridge．
铁路公告：旅客必须由天桥过马路。
Office manager：Staff must be at their desks by 9∶00。
办公室经理：工作人员必须在9∶00前到达各自的办公桌前。
Regulation：A trailer must have two rear lamps．
规章：拖车必须有两盏后灯。
只不过是讲述或评论他人的义务时，则用 have to：
In this office even the senior staff have to be at their desks by 9∶00．
在这个办公室，就连高级职员也要在9∶00前到达他们各自的办公桌前。

她必须自己给孩子们做衣服穿。她买不起。
They'll have to send a diver down to examine the hull．
他们必须派潜水员下水去检查船体。
如果用 must 代替上面例子中的 have to，就可能意指说话的人有权下命令这样做。
但 must 可用于表示说话人对某种责任、义务是赞成或同意的：
A driver who has knocked someone down must stop．
撞人的司机必须停车。（说话人认为这是司机的责任。）
或表示说话人很强烈地认为应该这样：
Something must be done to stop these accidents．
必须采取某种措施以防止这些事故。
D 第一人称的例子
第一人称为主语时，must 和 have to 二者之间的差别不那么重要，常常两种形式都可以用：
Typist：I must／will have to buy a dictionary．
打字员：我必须去买一本字典。
Patient：I must／have to/will have to cut down on my smoking．
患者：我必须减少吸烟。
但在表达习惯时，have to 更好：
I have to take two of these pills a day．
我必须每天吃两片这种药。
某事对说话人很急迫，或被说话人认为很重要时，则以用 must 为好：
I must tell you about a dream I had last night．
我必须把我昨晚做的梦告诉你。
Before we do anything I must find my cheque book．
在我们干任何事之前，我必须先找到我的支票簿。

注意如下常见的例子：

商店橱窗里的告白：关门大甩卖！卖完为止！
F 表示过去的义务的肯定句用 had to 表示过去的义务时，而且说话人本身的权威和外界的权威无法区分时，只可用一个形式，即 had to：

我没钱花了，不得不向汤姆借钱。
