I had to go = I should go ?

0No, it's not possible in normal contexts. Perhaps if you give us some long sentences, it just might be at least theoretically possible in some contexts. In English virtually anything is possible!05002br

00Anyway, as far as I know, "had to" is the past form of "have to".02br
02br
00HAVE TO is usually used to show an obligation, while SHOULD shows something that you are supposed/expected to do (or an advisable action) but you might not choose to do it (with your own risk!).02br

0Oops. There are many mistakes 05000 Apart from this, thank you Yoong and I02br
00will try to pay attention to write correct sentences. 02br

0I think you're mixing up present and past tense. 02br
02br
00 You have to = You should (as a general rule), there is still a small difference. "You have to" is stronger, and "You should" is more of a suggestion.02br
02br
00 When you change them to past tense, "I had to" and "I should (have)", there is a significant difference I wouldn't compare as being

0 No, I am not mixing up present and past tense at all.02br
00Don't compare "had to" with "should". This sentence is special, of course according my teacher: "I had to go" you can ONLY use with GO in this case. In other ways it means past tense. 0-
