@SUATTANIR Creo de leando mi diccionaire, quando es un nombre (noun) usted quieren decir el significado por obligacion (ie a duty). Quando es un verbo (intransitive verb ie has no object) hay una obligacion: eg debe verlo
Quando hay objeto (transitive verb) el significado es 'owe'. -

It was 1800 before the population reached 1 billion, 1927 it reached 2 billion and 1957 it reached 3 billion. Today the population is between 7 and 8 billion.

Listening to our professor today changed my mind about how we humans should face the future. To date we have focused on prevention and cease and desist orders or hopes.

Maybe a course like this...
