Content Development:
Have to and 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.

Examples:

I have to be home by ten. (My parents told me so.)

I must be home by ten. I have a very difficult day tomorrow. (It is my
own decision.)

I have to get up early, because I start work at 8. (It is a rule.)

I should get up early. (Now I stay in bed until lunchtime.)

 Don't have to means that there isn't any obligation at all,

there is no need to do it.

Don't have to is different from shouldn't and mustn't.

Examples:

I don't have to get up early at weekend.

(I can stay in bed as long as I want.)

You mustn't tell lies. (It is very bad to tell lies.)

You don't have to go with me.

(You can go with me if you want to.)

You shouldn't smoke. (It is bad for your health.)

 In spoken British English you can also use have got to and haven't
got to.

Examples:

Pamela is a waitress. She's got to work at weekends.

Have I got to do it right now?

I haven't got to take my sister to school, my parents do it.

Tip! We do not use have to when we talk about what is a good idea to do, but
we don't do it yet. Instead, we use should.

Adverbials of probability

We use adverbials of probability to show how certain or sure we are about

something, a situation or event. The most frequent adverbials of probability
are:

certainly - definitely - maybe - possibly

clearly - obviously - perhaps - probably

maybe and perhaps usually come at the beginning of the clause:

Perhaps the weather will be fine.

Maybe it won’t rain.

Other adverbs of possibility usually come in front of the main verb:

He is certainly coming to the party.

Will they definitely be there?

We will possibly come to England next year.

but after am, is, are, was, were:
