These questions are incomplete. "If" is a presumption, so it is usually followed with "then" like in this example: "If you're breaking up with me, then will you tell me why?"
"Why" is a question, but it is used incorrectly in the sentences you provided. It should be "why are you through with me?" or "why are you breaking up with me?"

@Holliehere then, these two sentences can be used the same ?
why are you through with me?"
why are you breaking up with me?"
And these two writings can be used the same ??
If you're breaking up with me, then will you tell me why?"
If you're going to break up with me, then can you tell me why?"
- Inglese (Stati Uniti)
@Anth22 Yes! Although saying "why are you through with me?" sounds just a little unnatural, but it's still understandable and it means the same thing as "Why are you breaking up with me?"

@Holliehere But I would like know. why is “are” and not “was”? Knowing that the sentence is in past? Why are you through with me?
Other questions: If I want to refer to a person: he is understandable or he is comprehensible, or he is understanding?
Can I use “ I must” or I have to” for the same or do they have a difference?
Can I use “should” the same as “ought to”?
- Inglese (Stati Uniti)
Was is incorrect in this instance. If someone is breaking up with you in the present, you can say are. If someone broke up with you in the past, you should actually use "did"
For example: "Why DID you break up with me?"
we only use "was" following a singular pronoun like he, she, it, or that.
✅ "he is understandable" is fine
✅ "he is comprehensible" is fine
❌ "he is understanding" is not grammatically incorrect, but it does not mean the same thing as "He is coherent" or "He is easy to understand"
"He is understanding" usually means "he is sympathetic" or "He understands what I say to him"
"Must" and "Have to" are usually synonymous. You can use them interchangeably, but "must" sounds more formal.
✅ "I must leave soon"
✅ "I have to leave soon"
both mean the same thing.
However, "must" can be used less formally when referring to other people.
✅ "He must have a good reason for leaving so soon"
sounds perfectly casual.
"should" and "ought to" are also synonymous. They mean the same thing, and they can also be used interchangeably.
✅ "He should wear his hair like that more often."
✅ "He ought to wear his hair like that more often"

However, "must" can be used less formally when referring to other people.
✅ "He must have a good reason for leaving so soon"

@Holliehere in this text ,
✅ "he is understandable" is fine
✅ "he is comprehensible" is fine
❌ "he is understanding" is not grammatically incorrect, but it does not mean the same thing as "He is coherent" or "He is easy to understand"
If I say : she is very comprehensible/understandable with me, Is it well ? He understands me all I say. Is it well, too?
- Inglese (Stati Uniti)
@Anth22 It depends on the context. The meaning of the words can change depending on what you mean to imply and how you use them in a sentence.
If you want to say that someone is patient or sympathetic towards you, then you can say "he is very understanding"
example: "Even though my essay was late, my professor gave me full credit. He's very understanding."
If you want to say that someone speaks clearly in a way that's easy to understand or comprehend, you can say "He is very comprehensible and understandable" or you can specify "His language is very comprehensible"
Example: "He's so articulate when he speaks in public. With the way he phrases things, he's very understandable.
If you want to say that someone understands what you're saying even though your English isn't perfect, you can say "He understands me well"
Example: "I know I have a heavy accent, but I don't have any problems speaking to him. He understands me well."

@Anth22 "Must" means "to be obliged to" and it can be used in place of "has to" or "have to" in most cases, but sometimes it sounds too formal for casual conversation.
saying something like "I must find my jacket" is grammatically correct, but it sounds a bit too formal. In this case, I would replace "must" with "have to" to sound more natural.
However, "must" can be used casually too, depending on how you use it. To use it casually, you can say "must" in sentences where you're making an assumption in order to explain something.
for example: "I must have left my jacket behind" means "I don't have my jacket, so I can assume that I left it behind"
"He must be running late" means "I don't know why he's not here yet, but I can assume that it's because he's running late"
"they must have known it was going to rain if they brought the extra umbrella" means, "Since they brought an extra umbrella, I assume that they knew it would rain."
All of these uses of the word "must" sound perfectly casual and natural.

@Holliehere
then, when somebody is patient and loving with another person, I must use , She is understanding with me? For example: in a relationship or a friend or another person , I want to say that somebody is understanding with me because they are loving , really love me , patient, and so on. I don’t know if my text is well, but I referred to that. Tell me.
And about “must” I want to know if I can use in these types of sentences when I say:
I must prepare dinner
I have to prepare dinner
I have to clean up my room
I must clean up my room
And so on. Can I use both when I refer to something I must or have to do for myself for my benefit, but not obligated by people. Do you understand me ? Both would work in the types of sentences I wrote?
- Inglese (Stati Uniti)
That's right. Calling someone "understanding" is another way to say that they're patient. To be clear, it doesn't necessarily mean that everyone who loves you or is good to you is understanding, but being understanding is a way many people choose to express their love for someone. It means that someone listens to you and sympathizes with your emotions.
Also yes. Must and have to both work in those sentences, but like I said, it sounds more natural to use "have to" most of the time.
