Hi,

MUST = obligation (and you agree with it)
I �m late, I must hurry
MUSTN �T = interdiction/prohibition
You mustn �t smoke here (it �s forbidden)
Have to = obligation (rules / whether you like it or not)
I have to make my bed / I have to water the flowers
Don �t have to = no obligation to do it
I don �t have to go to bed early
you can explain this to your students with rules at home / at school

hope it helps
