Now let's say we wanted to be, I don't know, a little bit more factual.

An example is, I have to do well on my test because I want to go to a good school.

01:53
The fact is, if I do not do well on my test, I will not go to a good school.

So have to and must.

When you want to speak and you want to use facts, use have to.
22

03:04
If you believe what you're saying is true, but you don't have the facts, but you really
23

03:09
feel strongly, use must.
24
189680
12520
03:22
By the way, must is always stronger than have to because with must, we believe it's true.

With have to, there are facts.

Emotions are always stronger than thinking, believe it or not.
