how to explain your responsibilities
your responsibilities so for today I’m
going to talk about using have to have
to so I’m gonna talk about half to you
and using it in some basic patterns yes
but I’m also going to talk about some
more advanced grammar points that you
can use in past tense and in future
tense as well I’m also going to talk
about using this with the third
conditional that’s something that a lot
of you have asked about so I hope that
we can cover actually quite a lot of
grammar topics today - good okay someone
yeah thank you to everyone who said that
there was a sound problem I think we
have it fixed now
sorry about that we’re trying out a

okay good so as we get started here
um I want to I guess now that everything

okay alright so a quick announcement
will give maybe like one more minute for
everyone to join um excuse me one quick
thing I wanted to announce and say thank
you for I shared this on my Instagram
account a little bit earlier this week
like what on Friday on Friday but if
you’ve been following our YouTube
channel we had a
big milestone on Friday we finally
reached two million subscribers so thank
you so so so much to everybody watching
and sharing and participating in our
videos that was really really cool and
we really appreciate all the support so
we’re going to of course continue making
videos but just thank you all very very
much for watching that was really
exciting and so we’re excited to
continue so this was huge
ok is Wirecast freaking out I can see I
can see all right we’re having a couple
technical issues today but hopefully
it’ll be ok if you see anything wrong
just send us a message in the chat yes
Henry Kay I do have a cold I found a
very bad yesterday ok let’s get going
then for today’s lesson so we’re having
a couple little technical hiccups today
but hopefully it won’t be a problem
let’s get into the first part of today’s
lesson so I mentioned that I’m gonna
focus on using half two for today’s
lesson great so I want to focus with
some review first so let’s start with
using half two in the positive and the
negative for present tense so when we
use have two and don’t have to or he or
she has to or doesn’t have to we’re
using it to explain a responsibility yes
and we typically use this for something
we can reasonably be expected to do so a
couple of common examples like this is a
true one for me like I have to edit a
Q&A video this week so that’s like
that’s a real responsibility for me I
have to edit a Q&A video this week
another example like she has to sit and
listen to me talk for example or she has
to try to fix any technical problems on
the live stream so we use these to talk
about our actual like things it’s
required of us to do some of you will
ask about using something like need to
or I’ve got to yes you can use those as
well here another question
many students have is about using must
in a pattern like this in conversation
we do not use must here we use must for
like official rules or for really
serious advice so I don’t recommend
using must in conversations I would
focus on using have to okay another
point here when you use doesn’t have to
or don’t have to a mistake that I often
hear from learners is they’ll use it to
describe kind of like a crazy activity
so a really common example I hear is
students who say like I don’t have to
drink alcohol at work most of us don’t
yes but we use this we use the negative
form for something we can reasonably be
expected to do so this has to be a
reasonable expectation if you don’t use
it for a reasonable expectation it
sounds strange so use this for something
you can reasonably be expected to do not
for like some kind of crazy activity so
that’s a point to think about with the
negative here all right um I want to
then move on to maybe a couple of things
that are a little more maybe
intermediate level these are two
patterns that native speakers use for
like repetitive or frequent annoyances
so repetitive means something that
repeats frequent means often and an
annoyance is an annoying thing something
that bothers us something that’s kind of
troublesome for us so the first one this
first pattern is I keep having to I keep
having to we use I keep having to for
something that’s usually very small and
that we have to do many times in a short
period of time so we use this a lot
excuse me we use this a lot for computer
troubles so a great example of this is I
keep having to restart my computer so
you’ll notice here with the grammar we
use this
grammar this have to followed by a verb
that we use for a regular half -
sentence but we use the progressive form
of having to I keep having to hear so
this expresses that we are annoyed this
is something like that we’re doing over
a short period of time continuously I
keep having to yes I do have a cold
everybody is realized I’m cold okay the
next one I’m gonna continue unless
something happens
okay the next example here is I keep
having to plug in my iPhone or I keep
having to plug in my phone so anytime
you want to talk about some kind of
small problem this keep in mind that
this is for a very like a tiny tiny
everyday thing that bothers you that you
do many times in a very short period
okay then this next one I always have to
has this same feeling as I keep having
to couple differences though so here
first you’ll notice we use the regular
present tense half here have two I
always have two we’re not using having
two I always have two is also used yes
for like repetitive or frequent
annoyances something that bothers us a
lot but we use this over a longer time
span so I’ll write that here a longer
time span time span means time period
over like a longer longer length of time
so over a longer time span so for
example like every time you visit a
location or every time you do a certain
activity there’s this annoying thing you
have to do so this is a pattern we use
to express that some examples of this
are I always have to clean the mess when
my roommate cooks so in this pattern I’m
sorry in this example sentence I’ve used
this when when so this is showing us the
point in time or this situation
where the annoying behavior like or the
annoying responsibilities happens so
when my roommate cooks so every time in
other words every time my roommate cooks
I have to clean the mess so you can
express that with I always have to clean
the mess when my roommate cooks so these
are two very similar expressions but
they have slightly different uses
so keep having two is more used for a
very short period small annoyance I
always have two is used for like a
regular situational annoyance okay yes I
do have a cold that’s gonna be the top
question for today seems just happy to
put that in the banner here yes it has a
cold okay let’s continue on if you have
any questions yes please feel free to
send them in the chat and I will try to
check them someone wrote I always have
to go to the gym um so remember we use
have to for unpleasant things usually
something we don’t always want to do
like I have to go to the bank today or I
have to get up early today so if yours
if you enjoy going to the gym it sounds
strange so I would use it for something
some responsibility not something that
you choose to do so we’re talking about
responsibilities here do I speak Spanish
okay okay great Henrique a nice one on
YouTube I always have to wash the dishes
when my mom finishes my mom finishes
cooking nice one good I will try to
check your other ones I keep having to
practice typing on the computer nice
whining is hard on Facebook good good
good I keep having to practice typing
great so that’s like a small thing and
everyday thing that we want to complain
about okay good
times going quick so a quick break
riki time today we’re talking about
responsibilities so I want to choose a
free thing as always this week
I know which one I want I want to dig it
out I’m a little slow today oh man
not that one there it is we have oh
that’s right no camera I want to show
you this this is from the business
English PDF are you there we go I won’t
move okay this is from the business
English PDF the free one I don’t think
you can see it you’re gonna zoom not
gonna zoom it crashed
oh no we’re having a crash problem so oh
there it is ha ha I wanted to show you
guys the back of this the back of this
has some expressions that you can use at
work I know you can’t see this but I
will read them to you it says for
example excuse me
like there are some like business
meeting expressions at the top of this
so I was thinking like today’s lesson
and next week’s lesson actually could be
really good to explain your business
responsibilities so these talk about
meetings like I’d like to start with
something or like what are your views on
this these are examples of things you
can talk about in a business meeting but
I was thinking that for today’s lesson
um there are a lot of points that you
can use for talking about your work as
well so I thought this might be a nice
one a nice thing you can use for this
week’s lesson and for next week’s lesson
so this is the business English PDF you
can get this PO you can get this from
the link below the video on YouTube or
above the video on Facebook so please
check this one out
um there are some other things too but I
thought this was perfect for this week
and for next week um good you guys have
some other example sentences in here too
I keep having to listen to my boss every
day Oh careful careful thing you say
that to you okay um so as I said this is
a little bit of review present tense I
want to go now to part 2 for today’s
lesson um part 2 excuse me if you’re
just joining us yes I do have a cold we
are talking about how to explain
your responsibilities today so the next
part of the lesson here in the middle
I’m going to focus on using the same
point the same grammar point have to but
in past tense in past tense so first
let’s look at kind of just a simple
straightforward simple past tense
expression this one I had to or I didn’t
have to I had to and I didn’t have to
these are good simple expression simple
statements you can use to give reasons
for things and to make excuses for
things like this one classic I had to
work you use this with an apology sorry
I couldn’t come to your party I had to
work or like sorry I couldn’t help you I
had to work I couldn’t help you move I’m
really sorry so I had to plus your
regular verb notice yes it is past tense
but this verb does not change we’re
using past tense had here but this verb
should not should not change I had to
work so this is how we expressed simply
our past tense responsibilities if your
subject is like he or she you want to
talk about someone else’s
responsibilities like sorry he couldn’t
come to the meeting he had to go to a
doctor’s appointment so again we’re
using past tense had and then a simple
present tense work he had to go to a
doctor’s appointment here so simple past
tense expressions with these two okay
the more advanced grammar point probably
today’s most advanced grammar point I
want to talk about though is this one so
I want to talk about using this sort of
grammar or like a responsibility
statement with the third conditional so
a quick refresher or a quick
introduction the third conditional is
used to talk about unreal situations so
these are unreal pass
situations that means this did not
happen in the past or it’s something
that we’re like kind of regretful
regretful means we’re sad about
something we wish it had not happened so
we quite often use half to in the third
and third conditional sentences like
this so as simple a couple of simple
examples if you want to make a negative
statement to begin with a negative part
you can say if subject hadn’t had to so
right here this is a point of some
confusion for learners hadn’t had to in
the negative and when you’re making a
positive statement if you’re using the
positive for if subject had had to so
yes it is correct to use two hats in a
row and up here and negative hadn’t had
to this is correct yes so the some
learners worried like is this is this
okay I’m using the same word twice yes
it is okay because they are taking
different grammatical functions they do
have different roles in the sentence
okay so how do we use this a great
example
so I mentioned working like having to
work a responsibilities of work in the
past if I hadn’t had to work I would
have come to your party so here my if
Clause shows that the speaker had to
work so remember when you’re using the
negative hadn’t in your if clause here
this means the speaker did do that thing
so this means the speaker worked the
speaker had the responsibility of
working here but if the speaker had not
had that responsibility they would have
come to the party so we use would here
to express an unreal future desire kind
of so if this had been different this
would have been my choice I don’t have
time to explain all of this again this
is
more of like an advanced grammar point
but there are some videos coming up on
the channel about this this is called
the third conditional if you want to
know more about this topic try it
looking for the third conditional so I
say that this is the most advanced
grammar point for today if you don’t
know about this that’s okay this is a
little bit tougher I think for sure
okay sorry so yes many of you are saying
is had had to is so confusing so let me
break it down so this part this had had
two so right here I talked about past
tense have two yeah so if I want to make
a simple past tense statement about my
responsibilities I can say I had to work
right so simply I had to work yesterday
this is my simple past tense but in this
sentence when we make this this third
conditional unreal statement this part
right here is the basic grammar we need
to make that statement
so we’re pairing this we’re putting this
part and our half to grammar together
here so that’s why we have two hats in
this sentence so there’s like a like
kind of two grammar points that are
being combined here and they make had
had someone says in a hypothetical
situation if I hadn’t had to study I
would have watched TV yes that is
correct that is correct if I hadn’t had
to work I hadn’t had to work I would be
more healthy good good yeah exactly
nice if I hadn’t had to work I would
have watched all your classes Wow
thanks that’s great so yes these are
unreal situations so here I talked about
a negative form let’s look at a positive
for them so here if you had had and when
native speakers say this we contract to
this part we make it you’d if you’d you
you’d have to finish that huge so that’s
how I would read this so slowly if you
had had to finish that huge project by
yourself here so this is my if Clause
here’s my main Clause you would have
been in trouble so again this is a more
advanced grammar point but this is
expressing an unreal situation so here
the speaker did not have to finish a
huge project by himself or by herself
but if that had been the case if that
were the situation the speaker would
have been in trouble so this in trouble
means it would have been challenging it
would have been difficult
so yes had had as I said this is an
unreal situation an unreal past
responsibility that’s what this is
expressing unreal past responsibility
right here that’s what this is unreal
past responsibility so again this is a
more advanced grammar point you will
find some lessons soon on the channel
and in the video loop talking about
would have and soon also this grammar
point as well I made a video yesterday
about this grammar point so please keep
an eye out for that so again advanced
grammar point if it’s difficult that’s
okay it’s called the third conditional
okay so that was a tough part that’s the
toughest part of today’s lesson I wanted
to share something a little bit more
challenging just to try something a
little more challenging today great I
will check and see any other examples as
they come in but for now I’ll take one
more very short break and then we’ll
finish with some easier grammar about
the future tense so as I said excuse me
as I said today as we’re talking about
responsibilities I thought the business
English PDF cheat sheet can’t really see
it
would be good for today this would be
good for today and all sorry and for and
for next week’s lesson and for next
week’s lesson this is good for today if
you are not working of course if you are
as students what did I do with that you
can check out this one this is the
school it says back to school but you
can just use it for school that’s fine
because here there’s some like classroom
you can’t see it but yeah there’s some
classroom expressions that you can use
with this half to grammar point so like
for example with your classes I have to
do my chemistry homework or I have to do
my geography homework for example so
these are some nice ones that you can
use with today’s grammar point okay then
let’s continue to the last part of
today’s lesson sorry have a cold let’s
finish up today’s lesson with some
future tense expressions over here so
future tense expressions I’ve got two I
want to talk about and these are sort of
um I would say their everyday
expressions yes but we use them as kind
of softeners especially this first one
so the first one I’ve used I’m here just
to make it a little easier but I’m gonna
have to and I’m not gonna have to so
reminder I’ve used gonna here gonna is
the reduced form of going to yeah going
to do so I’m going to have to or I’m not
going to have to so we use these yes to
express responsibilities upcoming
responsibilities in the future um but
this part actually I’ve got a one and
it’s just off screen now but this
there’s a number two here there are two
uses that I
to talk about here so um first one is
this softener so by softener I mean if
you use half - sometimes it sounds
direct for example this this sentence
I’m gonna have to leave soon sounds a
little bit softer then I have to leave
soon so we can use gonna as a way to
soften a responsibility expression so I
have to leave soon becomes softer if we
say I’m gonna have to leave soon another
way did we use this is it an expression
like this which is I’m gonna have to go
with I’m gonna have to go with this is
something we used when making choices
especially at like a restaurant so
you’re looking at the menu and you say
mmm I’m gonna have to go with the steak
I’m gonna have to go with a salad and
that’s the pronunciation that we use so
not I’m gonna have to go with but I’m
gonna I’m gonna have to go with
something I’m gonna have to so this is
the first use I want to talk about with
gonna gonna okay the second use though
the second use this connects to the last
point for today’s lesson
the second use is with again and if
conditional so here I have this if
clause and then going to or gonna again
with have to in the main clause so we
use this to mean if this thing happens
there will be this results this
responsibility this future
responsibility so in this example it
says if I get a new job I’m gonna have
to open a new bank account so if I get a
new job
if this happens only if this happens if
I get a new job I’m gonna have to open
new bank account so we can use gonna
have to going to have to to express a
future responsibility in this way to
pair with an if conditional excuse me
okay good all right so I’ll finish up
then with a related point this I’ll have
to or I won’t have to another future
point so here we use this in the same
way as I just talked about with point
two of going to so we use it with an S
clause and then we include our will or
our won’t in our main clause so my
example sentence here is if you do a
little extra work now you won’t have to
stay late on Friday night
so this expresses again a future lack of
responsibility you won’t have to so this
means on Friday night you will have no
responsibility to stay late if you do a
little extra work now you won’t have to
stay late on Friday night and you can
here too with my intonation it usually
sounds like that the if Clause has that
higher sound if you do a little extra
work now it sounds like that then the
second half of the sentence sounds lower
you won’t have to stay late on Friday
night that’s how we would say this
sentence okay some examples good yeah
I’m gonna have to close my windows yeah
nice one so that’s a very soft sentence
that you can use nice ones okay I’m
gonna have to take this item yes you
could use that doll Mart on Facebook
said I’m gonna have to take this item
you can use that in a store so like for
example if you find something in the
store that you like and you want to kind
of casually say that you really want to
get it you can say yeah I’m gonna have
to get this so that’s actually a very
natural and very commonly you
‘we a very common way of using this I’m
gonna have to take this so it’s a really
like friendly and good expression to use
when you want something jana says if I
get into an accident I’m gonna have to
go to the hospital
perfect perfect use of this second use
right nice very nice someone says I’m
gonna have to go to bed good good nice
example is everybody that’s great
um other ones I’m gonna have to listen
to the teacher you’re gonna have to
listen to the teacher you could use that
yep that’s a good way to like get out of
a side conversation maybe that’s good
I’m gonna have to take the dog out to
use the bathroom nice that could be that
could be if I get a new wife I’m gonna
have to take very good care of her oh I
hope so I hope so
great good examples good examples
everybody so this gonna have to and I’ll
have to or I won’t have to we can pair
these with if clauses to talk about
unreal situations there okay great
lots of good example sentences I have to
finish up though cuz now I’m two minutes
late so we’ll wrap up there thank you
