Have to vs. must?

Hi,

'Ought to' usually indicates another type of 'obligation'. This time it's a moral one. It's similar to 'should' and suggests it's the right and proper thing to do as in: You ought to respect your parents/You ought to set a good example to your children by the way you behave/You ought to pay your taxes and so on. It conveys the idea of duty.

I think that we can use "must", when we are talking about rules that should be done...
