We use this when we don't know but we are certain that it is true (based on
evidence).
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: ...
Don't have to means that there isn't any obligation at all, ...
In spoken British English you can also use have got to and haven't got to.

Lesson A: Have to
Have to is a construction (structure). It is not a modal verb. We use auxiliary verbs do
and does to form questions and negatives. Examples:
Positive
I have to work very unsociable hours.
She has to wear a uniform.
Negative
I don't have to work at weekends.
John doesn't have to do any work at home.
Question
Do I have to pay in advance?
Does your father have to travel a lot at his job?

Can is used to express ability or to say that something is possible.
Can is the same for all subjects. We don't add an 'S' in the third person
(like other verbs)
The verb that comes after Can is in the infinitive without to:
• I can speak Spanish. (= it is possible for me to speak Spanish = I
have the ability to speak Spanish)
• He can swim well.
• We can see our neighbor in the garden.
• They can play the guitar.

Negative:
To form the negative we add "not" after can to form one word: cannot.
We can also contract the negative to form can't. (can't = cannot)
We use both will and to be going to when we want to make a prediction about
the future. A prediction is a statement that we make about the future. When a
person makes a prediction they say what they think will happen in the future.

When do we use the structure to be going to + infinitive?
On television the weather forecast predicts what the weather will be like
tomorrow. Weather forecasters use different weather instruments that provide
them with information in the present. Weather forecasters use this information to
make their predictions about the weather.
