CONCLUSIONS :



 MUST  is used to express obligation,


We usually use MUST to talk about obligations which come from the speaker and we generally use  HAVE TO when we refer to obligations that come from outside .


SHOULD  and OUGHT TO  are both used to say that something is the best thing or the right thing to do, but SHOULD  is much more common: HAD BETTER can also be used to say what is the best thing to do in a situation that is happening now.


Use "need to" to express that something is important for you to do. This form is often used for something that is important one time.

Use the negative form of ...to express that something isn't necessary, but possible.


The negative form of ... expresses the idea that something is prohibited
