1. “Need to”
• Se usa para expresar necesidad u obligación pero con
un tono más flexible.
• En afirmativa e interrogativa, indica que algo es
necesario hacer, pero no siempre es una regla estricta.
• En negativa, sugiere que algo no es necesario hacer.
Ejemplos:
• Afirmativa: You need to study for the test. (Tienes que
estudiar para el examen.)
• Negativa: You don’t need to bring your book today.
(No necesitas traer tu libro hoy.)
• Interrogativa: Do we need to arrive early tomorrow?

2. “Must”
• Expresa obligación fuerte o reglas estrictas. En
afirmativa, indica que algo es extremadamente importante o
obligatorio.
• En negativa, significa prohibición absoluta.
• En interrogativa, rara vez se usa porque suena muy

llevar uniforme en el colegio.)

museum. (No debes tocar los cuadros en el museo.)
