Have to значит «надо»: так требуют правила или другие люди — I have to go. С he, she, it — has to. «Не обязан» — doesn't have to. В прошлом — had to.

I have to go.

Мне надо идти.

Смотрите: I have to go. Мне надо идти.

Формы

• She has to work. — с he, she, it — has to
• She doesn't have to work. — «не обязана», а не «нельзя»
• We had to wait. — в прошлом — had to
