Here we see that we can give commands / orders in three ways
1. Using the imperative
For a positive command use the verb in the base form without subject
Walk! Come! Enter!
For a negative imperative, add Do not or Don't
Don't smoke!
Do not enter!
2. Using modal verbs
must - FOR ME, IT IS NECESSARY - I must call my mother
have to - THE LAW OR THE RULES SAY IT IS NECESSARY - You have to have a passport to go to the USA
In the negative form these verbs have a different meaning
must not - IT IS FORBIDDEN- You must not smoke in public places
don't have to - IT IS NOT NECESSARY - I don't have to work on Sundays
