Have To Versus Want To Versus Get To

The difference between agreeing to do your homework, being told to do for homework, and exploring what you want to in your own way is when you agree to do your homework, you're basically promise someone that you will get it done. When you are being told to do you homework, you are somehow being told to have it done. And exploring what you want to do in your own way is that you might do the homework but most likely not because you have other things to focus on.
