This document discusses the differences between the terms "must", "have to", and "should". "Must" and "have to" both refer to obligations, but "must" is used for personal obligations involving feelings, while "have to" refers to obligations imposed by others. "Should" is used to give advice rather than impose an obligation. Several examples are provided to illustrate the appropriate uses of each term. Participants are then asked to practice choosing the right term to complete sample sentences. The document concludes by noting that "must" is more appropriate for written communication while people often use "have to" in speech.
