1、强调重点不同:两者都表示“必须”,但must侧重于说话者的主观看法,have to则侧重指客观需要,含有“不得不”或“被迫”之意。must是强调说话者的要求;用have to强调的是客观实际的需要。
2、所用时态不同:must 只有现在时一种形式(在宾语从句中可以表示过去),而 have to则有多种时态形式。如:He said she must go with me. 他说她必须同我一起去。除在宾语从句中表示过去可用 must 之外,其他表示过去的情况一般只用 had to。
3、非限定形式不同:have to可以有分词、动名词、不定式等形式,而must则没有这些形式。如:I hate to have to get up in the morning. 我真不愿意早上非得起来不可。
4、动词搭配不同:根据语义的需要,have to可以与情态动词搭配使用,而must本身作为情态动词,显然不能这样用。He may have to cancel the plan. 他可能需要打消这个计划。
If we missed the train, we should have to wait an hour at the station. 假如我们赶不上这班火车,我们就得在车站再等一小时。
5、否定式的意义不同:must 的否定式 mustn’t 意为“一定不要”“不允许”;而 have to 的否定式 don’t have to 意为“不必”(=needn’t)。比较:
You mustn’t tell him about it. 你一定不要告诉他这件事。(这可能是秘密)
You needn’t tell him about it. 你不必告诉他这件事。(他可能知道了)
本回答被网友采纳在正式的规章制度中用must和must not表示警告、警示:
例: Bookings must be made at least seven days before departure.
口语中通常用must和mustn't来建议将来某事的大致安排,例如安排会议和社交等,不带活动细节

对过去发生事情给出结论用must + have done

对说话同时发生事情的判断和结论,用must be doing

口语中对当下事件的结论用must be或have (got) to be

根据当下已知的情况总结判断某事该如何操作进行用must have to,如果发生在过去用must have had to

提问后如果期待得到否定的回答,用have (got) to,如果是正式提问可以用must
例:Do we have to answer all the questions? (或者Have we got to ...?更正式的话为Must we...?)
问句暗示批评的时候用have to, must也可以,但是比较老派
例:Do you have to play your trumpet here? It's deafening!
have to和have got to近似,但在频率副词后用have to
例:I often have to work at the weekend to get everything done.
过去时的疑问和否定句用had to
例:When did you have to give it back? (不能用When had you got to give it back?)
如果have跟主语人称代词缩写,必须加got

have got to不能情态动词连用
例:Motorist will have to wait until next year to use the bridge. (不能用Motorists will have got to wait...)
