Hi Alina, In general, we use "have to" much more often than "must". It sounds softer and more natural. #3. How old do you have to be drive in your country? #5 How is Paul enjoying his new job? Does he have to travel a lot? #7. The bus was late again?!? How long did you have to wait? #8. There was nobody to help me. I had to do everything by myself. #10. I'm not so busy. I have a few things to do, but I don't have to do them now. #11. I couldn't find the street that I wanted, so I had to ask someone for directions. #12. The car park is free. You don't have to pay to park your car there. #13. A man was injured in the accident, but he didn't have to go to the hospital because it wasn't serious. #14. Sue has a senior position in the company. She has to make important decisions. #17. I had to work late yesterday evening. #19. Julia wears glasses. She has had to wear glasses since she was very young. #21. Whatever you do, you mustn't touch that switch. It's very dangerous. For #24. Adding a time or a day sounds more natural. Such as "Sue doesn't have to get up early tomorrow, but she usually does." or "Sue doesn't have to get up early on Mondays, but she usually does." Very good Alina! These sentences are very useful. Remember that the tense of the first sentence must match the second sentence. Nice job!

Oh, I forgot. 3. is not so clear.

"3. How old did you have be to drive in your country?"

This is totally grammatically correct. However, it suggests that the person does not live in their country anymore. Like so: "(When you lived there, before,) how old did you have to be..."

"3. How old do you have to be to drive in your country?"

Would be better, if the person lives in their country now. However, the "you" here is not you, ты, personally. It is the general "one". It could be written, "How old does a person have to be to drive in your country?".
