Dear Fingers, I’m teaching English in Russia and I had a few problems trying to tell my students about the difference between “must” and “have to”. Please, could you help me All the best. Greg
Dear Greg, I would be glad to try and help you. Let’s see, first of all you could tell your students that both these words are used for talking about obligations but there are some important differences. Let’s look at them separately. Must Basically, “must” is an obligation that is felt by the person who is talking. It is like saying, “I feel it is necessary to do X”. Let’s see some examples: “I must stop smoking”, which means, “I feel it is necessary for me to stop because it is bad for my health”. “You must finish this by 5: 00 p. m.”, which means “I think it is necessary that you finish this by 5: 00 p. m.”. “She must stop talking like that”, which means “I think it is necessary that she stops talking like that”. Have to On the other hand, “have to” is an obligation that comes from another person. It can also be related to a law, a rule or an agreement. Let’s look at some examples: “I have to see the doctor”, which means “I have an appointment to see the doctor so I have to go”. “She has to get her hair cut now she’s in the army”, which means “She has to get her hair cut because a rule in the army says that it is obligatory”. “You have to take your passport when you go abroad”, which means “you have to take your passport because there is a law that makes this obligatory”. Well, Greg, I hope that has answered your question. I will put some grammar exercises related to this question in the exercise pack so you can practice it too. Thanks again for your question and I’ll speak to you all in the next magazine. Dr. Fingers
6．What is Dr. Fingers
A．A life expert. B．A grammar adviser. C．A language learner.
7．Where can we possibly read the article
A．On the Internet. B．On a Notice. C．In a magazine.
8．What does the underlined word “obligation” in Dr. Fingers’ e-mail mean
A．Promise. B．Agreement. C．Duty.
9．How many kinds of usages (用法) about “have to” are mentioned in Dr. Fingers’ e-mail
A．One. B．Three. C．Five.
10．What does “She must study English well” mean
A．I think it is necessary that she studies English well.
B．She studies English well because of agreement.
C．She studies English well because there’s a rule.
【答案】6．B 7．C 8．C 9．B 10．A
【导语】本文主要是Greg写信给Dr. Fingers，他想知道must和have to的区别，Fingers回信给他进行了解释。
6．推理判断题。根据“I’m teaching English in Russia and I had a few problems trying to tell my students about the difference between ‘must’ and ‘have to’. Please, could you help me”可知，Greg写信给Dr. Fingers，询问must和have to的区别，可推知Dr. Fingers是一个语法顾问。故选B。
7．推理判断题。根据“I’ll speak to you all in the next magazine.”可知，文章可能出现在杂志上。故选C。
8．词义猜测题。根据“first of all you could tell your students that both these words are used for talking about obligations but there are some important differences.”以及常识可知must和have to都是用来谈论义务的，故此处划线部分和duty意义相近。故选C。
9．细节理解题。根据“‘I have to see the doctor’, which means ‘I have an appointment to see the doctor so I have to go’.”，“‘She has to get her hair cut now she’s in the army’, which means ‘She has to get her hair cut because a rule in the army says that it is obligatory’.”以及“‘You have to take your passport when you go abroad’, which means ‘you have to take your passport because there is a law that makes this obligatory’.”可知，共提到了3个用法。故选B。
10．词句猜测题。根据“Basically, ‘must’ is an obligation that is felt by the person who is talking. It is like saying, ‘I feel it is necessary to do X’ ”可知，must是自己所感受到的义务，这就像在说，“我觉得做某事是必要的”，故She must study English well意为 “我认为她学好英语是必要的”。故选A。

Dear Fingers, I’m teaching English in Russia and I had a few problems trying to tell my students about the difference between “must” and “have to”. Please, could you help me All the best. Greg
Dear Greg, I would be glad to try and help you. Let’s see, first of all you could tell your students that both these words are used for talking about obligations but there are some important differences. Let’s look at them separately. Must Basically, “must” is an obligation that is felt by the person who is talking. It is like saying, “I feel it is necessary to do X”. Let’s see some examples: “I must stop smoking”, which means, “I feel it is necessary for me to stop because it is bad for my health”. “You must finish this by 5: 00 p. m.”, which means “I think it is necessary that you finish this by 5: 00 p. m.”. “She must stop talking like that”, which means “I think it is necessary that she stops talking like that”. Have to On the other hand, “have to” is an obligation that comes from another person. It can also be related to a law, a rule or an agreement. Let’s look at some examples: “I have to see the doctor”, which means “I have an appointment to see the doctor so I have to go”. “She has to get her hair cut now she’s in the army”, which means “She has to get her hair cut because a rule in the army says that it is obligatory”. “You have to take your passport when you go abroad”, which means “you have to take your passport because there is a law that makes this obligatory”. Well, Greg, I hope that has answered your question. I will put some grammar exercises related to this question in the exercise pack so you can practice it too. Thanks again for your question and I’ll speak to you all in the next magazine. Dr. Fingers
6．What is Dr. Fingers
A．A life expert. B．A grammar adviser. C．A language learner.
7．Where can we possibly read the article
A．On the Internet. B．On a Notice. C．In a magazine.
8．What does the underlined word “obligation” in Dr. Fingers’ e-mail mean
A．Promise. B．Agreement. C．Duty.
9．How many kinds of usages (用法) about “have to” are mentioned in Dr. Fingers’ e-mail
A．One. B．Three. C．Five.
10．What does “She must study English well” mean
A．I think it is necessary that she studies English well.
B．She studies English well because of agreement.
C．She studies English well because there’s a rule.
