HAVE TO / DON’T HAVE TO

●We use have to to talk about strong obligation

that comes from somewhere else, for example
from you boss, you parents, a rule at school or
work.
●I have to be home by ten. (My parents told me
so.)
●I have to get up early, because I start work at 8.
(It is a rule.)

 HAVE TO / DON’T HAVE TO
Don't have to means that there isn't any

obligation at all, there is no need to do it.

●I don't have to get up early at weekend. (I can
stay in bed as long as I want.)
●You don't have to go with me. (You can go
somewhere else.)
