Debemos / Tenemos que + infinitive
In Spanish, there are two common ways to express obligation or necessity:
1. Deber + infinitive (moral obligation)
Debemos expresses what we should or ought to do — a moral duty.
- Debemos reciclar más. → We should recycle more.
- Debemos proteger el planeta. → We must protect the planet.
- yo → debo
- tú → debes
- él/ella → debe
- nosotros → debemos
- ellos/ellas → deben
2. Tener que + infinitive (strong obligation)
Tenemos que expresses what we have to do — a stronger, more practical obligation.
- Tenemos que ahorrar energía. → We have to save energy.
- Tienes que separar la basura. → You have to separate the rubbish.
Tip: Think of deber as "should" and tener que as "have to". Both are followed by an infinitive.
Example: "No debemos usar tanto plástico." → "We should not use so much plastic."
Example: "Tenemos que reducir los residuos." → "We have to reduce waste."

자주 하는 실수
Debemos a reciclar.Debemos reciclar.Deber is followed directly by the infinitive. No preposition a is needed.
Tenemos de ahorrar energía.Tenemos que ahorrar energía.The correct structure is tener que + infinitive, not tener de.
La contaminación es un problema gravo.La contaminación es un problema grave.Grave does not change for gender. It is always grave, not gravo.
Nosotros debemos proteger la planeta.Debemos proteger el planeta.Planeta is masculine in Spanish (el planeta), even though it ends in -a. Also, the pronoun nosotros is optional.
Tengo que reciclar las plásticos.Tengo que reciclar los plásticos.Plástico is masculine: los plásticos, not las plásticos.
