We use have to and must to express obligation.

There is a slight difference between the way


we use them.

have to
Have to shows us that the obligation comes from outside the speaker.
We sometimes call this 'external obligation'.
 I have to pay my taxes if I don’t want to get fined.
 I have to sign the contract this week. 
 He has to feel better later.
 I have to work tonight.
 I have to go to the dentist again next week.

must
Must expresses a strong obligation or necessity. It often shows us that the obligation comes
from the speaker (or the authority that wrote the sentence).
Note that we don't use must to express obligation in the past. We use have to instead.
Examples:

 I must visit my grandmother


 You must put some coins in the meter.
 You must walk on the left.
 She must have taken the children with he
 She must have returned later. 
 You must have seen her yesterday.
