Ungrammatical-why?
Can anyone tell me why the following sentence is ungrammatical?
"We must to eat the pizza quickly."
I realize that it should read "We have to eat the pizza quickly" but why? What is the rule, reason, etc?
Thanks!

We must eat the pizza. We have to eat the pizza.
There is no reason. It's more of a rule, I suppose.
