This week we are studying Unit 8. One of the structures we have to practise is 'have to'! So, let me tell you about my week... On Sunday, I have to go to the Women's College at 12:00 because I have to do oral exams for the PET with the lady students. After that, I have to go and see my financial advisor. Then, on Monday, I have to teach in Madinat Zayed. On Tuesday, I have to miss some of my classes because I have to go to a workshop with a famous teacher trainer from England. My students don't have to come to class, but they will have to work independently.
What else?
My life has changed recently because my daughter has gone to the UK to study. Last year I had to get up really early because I had to take my daughter to school, but now I don't have to get up so early - and in England she has to catch the bus every morning. My daughter likes cooking, so last year I didn't have to cook, but this year I have to cook. In England she doesn't have to cook because she lives in a hall of residence where there is a cafeteria.
When I was a child I had to walk to school. I also had to tidy my room every week, but I didn't have to do any housework. Sometimes I had to do some gardening, too.
I hope you understand this structure. I hope I don't have to write any more examples!
What have you learnt from my sentences about 'have to'?
What is the present, past and future of this structure?
How do you make 'have to' negative?
What do you have to do to make questions with 'have to'?
Oh! Why did I use the present perfect in some sentences?
What else?
