Wat is het verschil tussen should, have to en must?

Should

We gebruiken should als we het hebben over dingen waarvan we vinden dat het juist, het beste of correct is:

I don’t think people should take sensitive case files home with them.

Have to

Have to gebruik je om te zeggen wat noodzakelijk of verplicht is:

Do I have to instruct the new interns on our safety protocol or has Jeremy already done this?

must

We gebruiken must ook om te zeggen dat iets noodzakelijk of verplicht is, vooral als het onderwerp of het werkwoord niet een persoon is of wanneer het een lijdende vorm is:

All personnel must abide by the company’s code of conduct.

We gebruiken must om te verwijzen naar iets wat zeker waar is. Het tegenovergestelde hiervan is can’t:

He must be bored because he’s not challenged to his full potential at his current job.

You can’t have finished the report already – Susan still has to send you the newest poll numbers!

Mustn’t betekent niet toegestaan (not allowed), maar don’t have to betekent niet noodzakelijk (not necessary):
