一、have to 1.Have to 表示客观的义务或需要,可以用于各种句式
如:I have to go home 2.must 和have to 的用法区别
must和have to 都有必须,应该 的意思。但二者有区别:
(1)must侧重于个人意志和主观上的必须,have to 则侧重于客观上的必须,常翻译为不得不,如:I must go now,I have to stay at home because it’s raining.(2)Must可用来表示现在和将来的必须,无时态变化,have to 则有更多的时态变化
如:He had to leave
I will have to buy a new T-shirt.(3)变否定句时,must只要直接在其后加not,表示禁止,have to 通常要变成don’t、doesn’t,didn’t have to 表示不必,不需要
如:You mustn’t smoke here.You don’t have to clean the room.(4)must 没有人称或数的变化;have to 有人称和数的变化,即第三人称单数用has to,其他人称用have to 如:He has to look after his sister.二.Need to Need 既可以作情态动词,也可作实义动词。Need 作实义动词时,后跟名词、代词、不定代词或动名词作宾语。Need作情态动词时后跟动词原形,一般用于疑问句和否定句。
如:You needn’t clean the room now.=You don’t need to clean the room now.Need he practice playing the violin now?=Does he need to practice playing the violin.
