SHOULD
We use "should" to give a piece of advice AND/OR when we think something is a right a thing to do.
Example: I think helping the homeless is a right thing to do, so I say "People should help the homless".
When you have a stomach ache, I will say "You should see a doctor".
HAVE TO
1.We use "have to" to talk about obligations
- Children have to go to school.-
- Men over eighteen have to go to the army.-
2. when we have no choice
- I have to go or I'll miss my train
- When I was a kid I had to eat soup before I could have some sweets.
3. when something is necessary
- You have to do sport to be fit
- you have to eat a lot of vegetables and fruit to be healthy
MUST
1. We use "must" to talk about stronger obligations.
-You must be silent in the library.
- You must turn off your mobile phone at the lesson.
- You must ot hand in your essay on time.
2. When you feel strong moral obligation INSIDE you
- This woman saved my life, I must help her.
- I must take care of my parents when they are old.
BUT
Negatives are a different story))
SHOULD NOT is the easiest part)
We use "shouldn't" to say about something that is wrong in our opinion
- You shouldn't talk stay out late, you will fell sleepy tomorrow! (just my opinion, IMHO))
Then comes DO NOT HAVE TO
We use "don't have to" to say that something is not necessary to do.
- We don't have to clean the table in this canteen. (the waiters usually do that).
- You din't have to go to the army in the USA. (but you can if you want, you have a choice).
- You don't have to be born in a rich family to be a millionair. (you can become rich later).
MUST NOT
We use "mustn't" to, again, talk about stonger obligations! )
- You mustn't smoke here!
- You mustn't wear jeans and a t-shirt to the office. (there is a dress code).

I saw your advertisement concerning a beautiful apartment in Venice in a newspaper. I am writing to you because I want to spend a few days in Venice with my partner.
We want to come at the beginning of October. We would like to visit some of the beautiful places near Venice./in Venice and nearby.
I am uncertain of the time we want to spend in Venice, but I assume it will be about four days.
Before making a booking I have a number of questions I would like to ask.
First of all I need to know about the air conditioning in the rooms and the internet connection.
In the advertisement you say that we can be accommodated for short stays as well as a weekly rentals are also avaliable. Is it possible to stay for four days and pay for four days accordingly? You specify that prices are from 900 euros p.w. Could you clarify what “p.w” means? We are looking for a reasonable priced hotel.
We will also require an additional small sleeping area for our 5 years son, breakfast and, on occasions, an evening meal. It will be very helpful if you could to offer us a special rate. I look forward to receiving your consent.
Best wishes, Denis.0 votedSeptember 13, 20162Berceles,
Number 1 is defenetely incorrect. The higlighted part refers to the present whereas the part with the Past Simple, obviously, refers to the past.
The rest 3 sentences are OK, althogh it depends on what meaning you put into them. For example:
In number 2, the cooking happened before the arriving home.
In numer 3, the preparing food was still in progress at the moment of arriving.
In number 4, you want to focus that cooking was still in progress (or had just finished) AND you focus on duration of that process. E.g. I had been preparing lunch (for an hour) when you got home...
Hope this helps)
