What Are Has To, Have To and Had To?
We use has to, have to and had to to express necessity, duty, compulsion or obligation. In Hindi, these expressions often mean करना पड़ता है, करना पड़ता था or करना पड़ा.
1. Use of Has To
We use has to + V1 (base form of the verb) with third-person singular subjects such as he, she, it and singular nouns.
Structure: Subject + has to + V1 + object.
Examples:
- Seema has to cut her hair every month.
- He has to complete his homework.
- My father has to go to the office every day.
- The student has to follow the rules.
Hindi explanation: जब subject एकवचन हो और he, she, it या किसी एक व्यक्ति का नाम हो, तो सामान्यतः has to का प्रयोग होता है।
2. Use of Have To
We use have to + V1 with I, you, we, they and plural nouns.
Structure: Subject + have to + V1 + object.
Examples:
- I have to study English every day.
- We have to help our parents.
- They have to reach school on time.
- You have to wear your uniform.
Hindi explanation: I, you, we, they तथा बहुवचन subjects के साथ have to का प्रयोग होता है।
3. Use of Had To
We use had to + V1 to express a necessity or obligation in the past. It can be used with both singular and plural subjects.
Structure: Subject + had to + V1 + object.
Examples:
- Seema had to visit the doctor yesterday.
- I had to work late last night.
- They had to leave early.
- We had to walk to school because the bus was late.
Hindi explanation: भूतकाल में किसी काम को करना आवश्यक था या करना पड़ा, तो had to का प्रयोग करते हैं। इसका प्रयोग सभी subjects के साथ समान रहता है।
Important Rules to Remember
- He/She/It + has to + V1
- I/You/We/They + have to + V1
- All subjects + had to + V1 for past obligations.
- Always use the base form of the verb after to: has to go, not has to goes.
- Do not use has to with I, you, we or they in ordinary present-tense affirmative sentences.
- Do not use had to for a regular present-time obligation.
Compare:
- Seema has to study every day.
- We have to study every day.
- Seema had to study yesterday.
