modal verbs: ‘have to’

‘have to’ is used to mean that something is necessary. It is used in the following way in affirmative sentences:
subject + modal (have to / has to) + verb
‘I have to wash my car today.’
‘He has to write a report.’

‘have to’ in negative sentences

In negatives to show that something is not necessary we follow this rule:
