Hi, we have several way to say it. Usually it is translated 「〜しなければなりません(formal), / ~しなければならない(informal)」.
Ex.) I have to eat
(formal) たべなければなりません、たべなければいけません
(informal) たべなければならない、たべなければいけない、たべなきゃならない、たべなきゃいけない
*we also use たべなくては instead of たべなければ
I have to go
(formal) いかなければなりません、いかなければいけません
(informal) いかなければならない、いかなければいけない、いかなきゃならない、いかなきゃいけない
*いかなくては is also used.
the negative ways to say them (you must not) are :
たべてはいけません、たべてはいけない / いってはいけません、いってはいけない
I hope you aren't confused and this was helpful.
