Expression of obligation merupakan ungkapan yang bisa kita gunakan untuk menunjukkan bahwa sesuatu itu wajib kita lakukan. Jika hal itu tidak kita lakukan, bisa saja kita akan mendapat bahaya, hukuman, atau konsekuensi yang buruk.
Untuk mengungkapkan obligation atau kewajiban dalam bahasa inggris kita bisa menggunakan modal must yang berarti harus. Modal must harus diikuti dengan infinitive atau V1.
Selain must kita juga bisa menggunakan have to / has to untuk menunjukkan kewajiban. Have to / has to juga harus diikuti dengan infinitive atau V1.
Perbedaan penggunaan must dan have to / has to adalah must merupakan obligation yang kuat (strong obligation). Sedangkan, have to / has to lebih sedikit lemah dibandingkan dengan must.
