I asked: does this apply to other modals? t.ex. Var har han gått? Han har hem.
Arnauti replied:
:
måste + place can mean 'has to go to somewhere'. There is a handful of verbs, all of them modal verbs, that can behave this way – ska or vill are the ones I can think of right now.
Jag vill hem means 'I want to go home'
Jag ska hem means 'I am going home, I am headed home'.
ha and most other verbs don't behave this way.

Why is "I must go home now" incorrect? "Måste" means "have to" or "must", so where is the mistake?
