Extrait de l'aide pédagogique pour "Expressing needs and requirements" :
You will often find yourself in situations where you want to express what you need or require from
co-workers, clients, or associates. It is therefore important to be familiar with the range of expressions that are used to state what one wants or need. For instance :
The following verbs are used with more emphasis in order to state essential conditions
· ‘Must’ (‘not’) + infinitive
The hotel must have reliable internet access.
It must not be more than two hours from London by train.
Note: The contraction ‘mustn’t’ is often used in the place of ‘must not’.
· ‘Have (got) to’ + infinitive
We have to have access to the conference center all day long.
We’ve got to find someone to replace Martin at the conference.
‘Have to’ and ‘have got to’ are mostly used interchangeably.
Note: In formal speech ‘have to’ is usually preferred.
When expressing what one needs from someone else (giving an order), ‘have to’ is used rather than ‘have got to’.
You’ll have to meet Mr. Johnson at the airport tomorrow.
‘Have to’ is also preferred when speaking about repeated obligations.
We usually have to meet our clients at the airport, but this week the hotel are taking care of it for us.
· ‘Must’, and ‘have (got) to’ are both used to express obligation or the need to do something. They can all be used in the same way, the only difference is that when we say ‘I must’ implies that the obligation comes from the speaker his/herself, whereas with ‘I have (got) to’the obligation is externally imposed.
I must call my grandmother today; I haven’t spoken to her in ages. (obligation from speaker)
I have (got) to take my grandmother to the hospital today. She is having an operation. (external obligation)
· ‘Must’ is always invariable while ‘have (got) to’ has past and future forms. ‘Have to’ (usually without ‘got’) is also the one most used with adverbs of frequency like ‘usually’, ‘always’.
· When using them in the negative forms ‘mustn’t’ and ‘don’t have to’, only ‘mustn’t’ expresses constraints, whereas ‘don’t have to’expresses the lack of obligation.
· You mustn’t tell anyone about our meeting. (Do not tell anyone)
· You don’t have to tell anyone that we met today. (If you don’t want you, you aren’t obliged)
