Shared ObligationObligación Compartida

Must and have to both express necessity or obligation, so learners often confuse them. The key difference is the source of the obligation: must usually reflects the speaker’s mind, while have to usually reflects an outside rule, situation, or requirement. In many contexts, both can be correct, but the emphasis changes.
