HAVE TO/ DON'T HAVE TO


Have to is a construction (structure). It is not a modal verb. We use auxiliary verbs do anddoes to form questions and negatives.
Examples:

Positive
I have to work very unsociable hours.
She has to wear a uniform.

Negative
I don't have to work at weekends.
John doesn't have to do any work at home.

Question
Do I have to pay in advance?
Does your father have to travel a lot at his job?




We can use have to in all tenses, and also with modal auxiliaries. We conjugate it just like any other main verb. Here are some examples:
