二、have to / have got to 的用法
1)must表示一种主观的需要,而have to 表示一种客观的需要,意思是“不得不”.如:

今天下午我不得不参加一个重要的会议.
Mother is out,so I have to look after the shop.
妈妈不在家,因此我不得不照看商店.
2)have to 的否定形式是don’t have to,相当于needn’t.如:
They don’t have to buy a computer at present.
他们目前没有必要买电脑.
3)have to 与have got to 常可以互换.
get to do与get doing的用法区别
区别一:两者均可表示“开始做某事”,其细微区别如下.
1.get to do往往暗示一个较长的过程,含有“渐渐开始”之意,此时get后接的不定式通常为to know,to like,to hate,to understand,to realize等表示心理感觉的动词.如:
I really wanted to get to know America.我真想逐渐了解美国.
I shall get to like them in time.经过一段时间我会变得喜欢他们的.
The best way to get to know the city is to visit it on foot.要想了解这座城市,最好的方法是步行游览.
After a time you get to realize that these things don’t matter.你过些时候就知道这些事无关紧要.
注:有时也可接表示心理感觉之外的其他动词.如:
His drinking is getting to be a problem.他酗酒越来越成问题了.
He is getting to be a lovely kid.他慢慢变成一个可爱的孩子了.
You’ll get to speak English more easily as time goes by.时间一长,你的英语就会说得流利一些.
2.get doing主要用于非正式文体中,通常表示某种特定动作的开始,尤其用于get moving,get going,get thinking等搭配中.如:
We’d better get moving—it’s late.我们还是走吧——时间不早了.
They soon got talking together.他们不久就开始谈了起来.
He got to thinking that she perhaps wouldn’t come after all.他已意识到也许她根本不来了.
区别二:get to do可以表示有机会做某事或被许可做某事,但get doing没有这样的用法.如:
He never got to go to college.他从无机会上大学.
We didn’t get to see her—she was too busy.我们没有见到她——她太忙了.
When do I get to see your new baby?我什么时候能去看看你那刚出生的孩子呀?
Did you get to visit the Louvre when you were in Paris?你在巴黎的时候有机会去参观卢浮宫吗?
区别三:get to do还可以表示努力或设法做成某事,但get doing没有这样的用法.如:
At last he got to knock it down.最后他设法把它敲了下来.
Did you get to buy the tickets?你设法买到票了吗?
How did you get to be captain?你是怎样当上船长的
