1.- First, please copy the new expressions in your notebook. Write the date and the title: 

NECESSITY and OBLIGATION:

                           I have to do my homework (because the teacher said so).

                           I have to get a passport - I don´t have to get a vaccine - Do you have to...?

                           He has to go to the doctor - he doesn´t have to Take any pills - Does he have to...?

         

          NEED TO (necesitar): We use NEED TO when it is necessary to do something. Examples:

                          I need to do my homework (because I want to learn)

                          I need to take some pills - I don´t need to take any pills - Do you need to...?

                          She needs to go to the doctor´s - She doesn´t need to go now - Does she need...?
