Can anybody please explain me the main differences between "Must" and "Have to"? I know they're used in similar way, but is there any grammar rule o sth that can help understand their use and differences? I need explain this tomorrow in a class. Thank you very much!

There is no definitive answer to this question. I, personally use, 'must' for an obligation imposed by the speaker - and that includes the people who write notices containing the word, and 'have to' for an obligation imposed by somebody else. An example: I take a visitor into a building site.
