Use
These words tell us about things that we must or must not do – obligation (Verpflichtung).
German speakers of English very often use the word “must” far too often as the translation for “müssen”.
We suggest that you should try to use “have to” more than must in order to make your English sound more natural.
Form
Present
I/you/we/they have to + infinitive

I don’t have to go home now.
Do you have to go home now?

In English we cannot use must in the past.
