Modal Verbs of Obligation

'Have to' and 'must' are both used to express obligation. There is a slight difference in the way that they are both used.
 

 
'Have to' shows that the obligation comes from someone else, not the speaker. This is usually referring to a rule or law.
 

 
We have to be at the airport at least two hours before the flight.
 

 
I have to work on Saturday.
 

 
They have to wear their uniforms at school.
 

 
'Must' shows us that the obligation comes from the speaker.
 

 
I must hand in my thesis by tomorrow.
 

 
I really must call my parents.
