dever or ter?
It's quite hard for me to understand the difference between "dever" and "ter".
For example...
you should do that. "você deve fazê-lo"
you have to turn right. "você tem que virar à direita"
...why not "você deve virar à direita" ?

Hey Cristiana!
Actually These words have the same characteristics that the same words in English. It depends on the context and the emphasis you want to express.
The example you gave is right, you could say: "Você deve virar à direita." or "Você tem que virar à direita." The difference is that "Deve" is more strong.
For example:
You should turn right. - Você tem que virar à direita. (it's an advice. You should do this if you want to go to the stadium, for exemple.)
You must turn right. - Você DEVE virar à direita. ( It's an obligation. You have to do this.)
It's a little difficult but we use in the same way that in English. "Deve" can be used for 'logical conclusions' just like 'must' in English.
Exemple:
She walked 5km. She must be tired - Ela caminhou 5km. Ela deve estar cansada.
In this case you can't use 'tem que estar cansada". It doesn't make sense.
I hope it helps you!

Hey Cristiana, the difference is really simple. The word "dever" you MUST use when you are saying that something is mandatory.
Ex:
Você deve lavar a louça!
Now, the word "ter" is referring to an advice
Ex:
Você tem que fazer suas tarefas de casa.
I hope you understood it now :)

Eu acho que "ter" = obrigação, e "dever" sentido de dúvida.
