Do you mean, "hace falta comer" or "il faut s'alimenter"?
The difference is between obligation and necessity (or a want of something).

There are instances where there is no difference in meaning:
tenemos que ir rápido
hace falta ir rápido

I don't know if Gene is still with you, but that was a brilliant suggestion to watch the youtube video. I just watched it and it gives a really good sense of this subject. Well done. Nicole
