Hi again,

these things are still confusing me: Does native speaker use more like   somebody or someone? Is any difference in it? 

And what about      must   and  have to..?

Thank you..

Dear Lucienne;

somebody and someone are exactly the same words. There isn't even a slight difference between them.

 

must tells an inner obligation and the obligation is generally for only one people or for the speaker.

have to tells an outer obligation and the obligation is for everybody.

I must study hard for my future.( It only concerns me not anyone else)

I have to pass this exam to be a teacher.( It concerns everbody who wants to be a techer.)
