Studying Smart So You Don’t Have To Study For Years
Lesson 7: “Need to; “Have to”; “Want to;” and "like to"
We are going to use housework to start. Here is some work we do at the house:
do the dishes, take out the trash, dust the furniture, polish the furniture, sweep the floor, mop the floor, dry the dishes, put away the dishes, set the table, vacuum the carpet.
Watch the video

No, I (you,we, you, they) don't have to... need to... want to... like to...
Got it?
Question charts:
Chart #1
Do I have to do the dishes? you need to take out the trash they want to dust the furniture you like to polish the furniture sweep the floor Does he mop the floor she dry the dishes put away the dishes set the table vacuum the carpet
Ex. Does he have to dust the furniture? Yes he has to dust the furniture. Or No, he doesn't have to dust the furniture.
Chart #2
What do I have to do? you need to we want to you like to they
does he she
Ex. What do they have to do? They have to take out the trash.
Ok. I want you to start with just one type of question.
Let's start with: "have to" which means "must" ("must" is a bit stronger though).
Use the question chart and make questions and answer them.
Ask the question (each time):
What do you have to do? I have to take out the trash. I have to wash the dishes. I have to dust the furniture. I have to polish the furniture...
What does he have to do? He has to take out the trash. He has to wash the dishes. He has to dust the furniture. He has to polish the furniture...
Got it?
Ask the same questions for: he, she, they, and we: What does he have to do? (many times) He has to mop the floor.... What does she have to do? (many times) She has to sweep the floor....
Practice all of them many times. Practice until it is all automatic. (And for the 1000th time: Don't read the chart)
Please believe me. This is going to get a lot harder in a minute, so practice hard.
Now do the same for: "want to" "need to" and "like to".
You need to practice with all four until they are automatic.
We are about to put a lot of things together.
Audio practice:
1.What do they have to do? mop the floor They have to mop the floor.
2.What does he need to do? do the dishes He needs to do the dishes.
3.What does she want to do? sweep the floor She wants to sweep the floor.
4.What do I have to do? take out the trash YOu have to take out the trash.
5.What do they like to do? polish the furniture They like to polish the furniture
6.What do you two want to do? put away the dishes We want to put away the dishes
7.What does she have to do? dry the dishes She has to dry the dishes.
8.What do you need to do? set the table I need to set the table.

Next we will practice with: "and then"

I have to do the dishes and then You need to take out the trash We want to dust the furniture You like to polish the furniture They sweep the floor mop the floor He has to dry the dishes She needs to put away the dishes wants to set the table likes to vacuum the carpet
"then" = "next"
Question Chart:
What do I have to do you need to we want to you like to
does he she
Ok. Now practice the same way (as above) but add 1 more thing from column 3. Like:
What do you have to do? I have to do the dishes and then polish the furniture.
What does she have to do? She has to dust the furniture and then mop the floor.
Practice this a lot (as always).
Now do the same practice with: "need to" "want to" and "like to"
Audio practice:
1. What does he have to do? mop the floor, dust the furniture He has to mop the floor and then dust the furniture.
2. What does she like to do? take out the trash, do the dishes She likes to take out the trash and then do the dishes.
3. What do you two need to do? sweep the floor, put away the dishes We need to sweep the floor and then put away the dishes.
4. What do they want to do? vacuum the carpet, polish the furniture They want to vacuum the carpet and then polish the furniture.

I have to do the dishes but You need to take out the trash We want to dust the furniture You like to polish the furniture They sweep the floor mop the floor He has to dry the dishes She needs to put away the dishes wants to set the table likes to vacuum the carpet
Next we are going to make sentences with "but" using two things from column 1 and two things from column 3. Like this:
-I have to wash the dishes but you have to dry the dishes. -I have to sweep the floor, but they have to mop the floor. -I have to dust the furniture, but he has to polish the furniture. -I have to take out the trash, but she has to set the table.
Got it?
Practice like this:
I-you You-I We-you They-I He-I She-I I-they You-we We-they They-you He-you She-you I-he You-they We-he They-we He-we She-we I-she You-he We-she They-they He-they She-they You-she They-he He-he She-he They-she He-she She-she
Practice first with "have to". Then practice "want to" "need to" and "like to". It should be easy if you practiced "have to" well.
Audio practice:
1. What do you have to do? What do they have to do? do the dishes; mop the floor I have to do the dishes but they have to mop the floor.
2. What do they have to do? What does he have to do? polish the furniture; dust the furniture They have to polish the furniture, but he has to dust the furniture.

4. What does he need to do? What does she need to do? set the table, put away the dishes He needs to set the table, but she needs to put away the dishes.
5. What do you want to do? What do they want to do?take out the trash; sweep the floor I want to take out the trash, but they want to sweep the floor.
6. What does he like to do? What do you two like to do? dust the furniture; dry the dishes He likes to dust the furniture, but we like to dry the dishes.
7. What do you have to do? What do they have to do? wash the dishes, dry the dishes I have to wash the dishes, but they have to dry the dishes.
8. What do I need to do? What does he need to do? vacuum the carpet; do the dishes You need to vacuum the carpet, but he needs to do the dishes.
Ok. I hope you really learned that well.
Now we are going to practice "want to" and "have to" together.
Watch the video
I 1) want to do the dishes but You 1) wanted to take out the trash We 2) have to dust the furniture You 2) had to polish the furniture They sweep the floor mop the floor He 1) wants to dry the dishes She 1)wanted to put away the dishes 2) has to set the table 2) had to vacuum the carpet
Question Chart:
What do you want to do? did they
does he did she
Ok. Now ask questions and answer them.
Like this:
Ex. 1 What does she want to do? do the dishes; sweep the floor She wants to do the dishes, but she has to sweep the floor. Or: She has to sweep the floor, but she wants to do the dishes.
Ex. 2 What did she want to do? do the dishes; sweep the floor She wanted to do the dishes, but she had to sweep the floor. Or: She had to sweep the floor, but she wanted to do the dishes.
Ex. 3 What do they want to do? set the table; vacuum the floor They want to set the table, but they have to vacuum the floor. Or: They have to vacuum the floor, but they want to set the table.
Ex. 4 What did they want to do? set the table; vacuum the floor They wanted to set the table, but they had to vacuum the floor. Or: They had to vacuum the floor, but they wanted to set the table.
Ok. Make many questions for: "you" "they" "He" and "She", ok?
Let's change the chart a little bit. We will add a little emphasis:
Watch the video
I really 1) want to do the dishes but unfortunately You 1) wanted to take out the trash and luckily We 2) have to dust the furniture and fortunately You 2) had to polish the furniture They sweep the floor mop the floor He 1) wants to dry the dishes She 1)wanted to put away the dishes 2) has to set the table 2) had to vacuum the carpet
With "unfortunately" we will do it like this:
I really want to do the dishes, but unfortunately I have to take out the trash. I really wanted to do the dishes, but unfortunately I had to take out the trash.
With "luckily" and "fortunately" we do it this way:
I really want to do the dishes and fortunately I have to do the dishes. I really wanted to do the dishes and fortunately I had to do the dishes. I really wanted to do the dishes and luckily I had to do the dishes.
Do you understand?
Now go to the chart and practice these kinds of sentences. Do many and don't read the chart.
Audio exercise:
1. What did she want to do? do the dishes; unfortunately; take out the trash She really wanted to do the dishes, but unfortunately she had to take out the trash.
2. What do they want to do? mop the floor luckily They really want to mop the floor and luckily they have to mop the floor.
3. What does he want to do? vacuum the carpet; unfortunately; put away the dishes He really wants to vacuum the carpet, but unfortunately he has to put away the dishes.
4. What did you want to do? set the table, fortunately I really wanted to set the table, and fortunately I had to set the table.
5. What does she want to do? polish the furniture; unfortunately; dry the dishes She really wants to polish the furniture, but unfortunately she has to dry the dishes.
6. What did they want to do? take out the trash; luckily They really wanted to take out the trash and luckily they had to take out the trash.
7. What did he want to do? put away the dishes; unfortunately; dry the dishes He really wanted to put away the dishes, but unfortunately he had to dry the dishes.
8. What do you want to do? vacuum the carpet; unfortunately; mop the floor I really want to vacuum the carpet, but unfortunately I have to mop the floor.
The next section is almost the same thing: We will practice "have to" and "like to".
Watch the video
I 1) have to do the dishes but You had to take out the trash and We 2) like to dust the furniture You 2)really liked to polish the furniture 2)better They sweep the floor more mop the floor He 1)has to dry the dishes She 1) had to put away the dishes 2) likes to set the table vacuum the carpet
For now, practice like this:
Ex1. I had to do the dishes, but I really liked to take out the trash better. Ex.2 I have to do the dishes, but I really like to take out the trash better. Ex.3 I had to do the dishes, and I really liked to do the dishes. Ex.4 I have to do the dishes, and I really like to do the dishes.
Ok. Now we are going to do "want" "like" and "have to" together.
Watch the video:
I 1) want to do the dishes 1) but You 2) like to take out the trash 2) so We 3) have to dust the furniture You polish the furniture They sweep the floor mop the floor He 1)wants to dry the dishes She 2)likes to put away the dishes 3) has to set the table vacuum the carpet
If you want you can use the past tense too: wanted to, liked to, had to
Here is how we do this one: "I" "he" "do the dishes" "sweep the floor"
Present: I want to do the dishes, but he likes to do the dishes so I have to sweep the floor.
Past: I wanted to do the dishes, but he liked to do the dishes so I had to sweep the floor.
We won't do audio practice on this one.
Practice like this if you need to:
I-you You-I We-you They-I He-I She-I I-they You-we We-they They-you He-you She-you I-he You-they We-he They-we He-we She-we I-she You-he We-she They-they He-they She-they You-she They-he He-he She-he They-she He-she She-she
If you can make sentences easily with this chart your English is getting pretty good.
Ok, now let's add some time to the charts.
Watch the video
Today I have to do the dishes Right now you need to take out the trash Now we want to dust the furniture Yesterday you don't polish the furniture A few days ago they didn't sweep the floor Last week mop the floor Last month he has to dry the dishes Last year she needs to put away the dishes A few minutes ago wants to set the table doesn't have to vacuum the carpet didn't have to
had to needed to wanted to
Question chart:
What do I have to do now don't you need to do right now did we want to do today didn't you they yesterday a few days ago does he a few minutes ago doesn't she an hour ago did last week didn't last month last year
First we are going to practice with "have to" and "don't have to". We are going to practice many ways:
Ask the question: What do you have to do now? What don't you have to do now?
1. -I have to do the dishes now but I don't have to take out the trash. Or: -I don't have to take out the trash now, but I have to do the dishes.
We say "now" only one time .
Watch the video
Practice like this: (Not an audio practice)
Note: if you want to add emphasis, do it like this:
1. I don't have to do the dishes but I do have to take out the trash.
We'll practice that a little while later. Don't worry about it now.
2. What did you have to do yesterday? What didn't you have to do yesterday? -I had to do the dishes yesterday, but I didn't have to take out the trash. -I didn't have to take out the trash yesterday, but I (did have to...) had to do the dishes.
3. What don't you have to do today? (2 things) -I don't have to do the dishes today and I don't have to take out the trash either. -I didn't have to do the dishes today and I didn't have to take out the trash either.
4. What do you have to do today, but he doesn't (have to do today)? -I have to do the dishes today but he doesn't have to do the dishes today.
What did you have to do yesterday, but he didn't (have to do yesterday?) -I had to do the dishes yesterday, but he didn't have to do the dishes yesterday.
5. What don't you have to do today? What doesn't he have to do today? -I don't have to sweep the floor, and he doesn't have to sweep the floor either.
What didn't you have to do today? What didn't he have to do today? -I didn't have to sweep the floor and he didn't have to sweep the floor either.
6. Today I have to sweep the floor and take out the trash.
Or you can make it harder.
Today I have to sweep the floor, take out the trash, and dust the furniture.
You can also make sentences with "or"
7. -Today I don't have to take out the trash or sweep the floor. -Yesterday he didn't have to sweep the floor or (have to) take out the trash.
Ok. Now we will do some of last lesson: "Fun with Personal Pronouns" with "want to" "need to" and "like to"
Watch the video
My mother wants me to do the dishes Your sister needs you take out the trash His brother him dust the furniture Our father us polish the furniture Their parents want them sweep the floor Her grandparents need her to mop the floor dry the dishes put away the dishes set the table vacuum the carpet
Question chart:
What does my mother want me to do your sister need you his brother him our father us do their parents them her grandparents her
I-me you-you Object pronouns he-him she-her we-us you-you they-them it-it
First, we will practice like this : my-me; your-you; his-him; our-us....
Last lesson we did the object pronouns "it" and "them." Remember?
Now we will do all of them.
Second, we will practice like this:
my-you your-me his-me her-me our-me their-me my-him your-him his-you her-you our-you their-you my-her your-her his-him her-him our-him their-him my-us your-us his-her her-her our-her their-her my-them your-them his-us her- us our-them their-us his-them her-them
This will make you tired. I am 100% sure of that. If you get tired, just stop. Actually you should only practice this for 20 minutes and then take a break. Ok?
Audio practice
1. What does her grandmother want you to do? sweep the floor Her grandmother wants me to sweep the floor.
2. What does his father want them to do? do the dishes His father wants them to do the dishes.
3. What does their mother want us to do? polish the furniture Their mother wants us to polish the furniture.
4. What does our sister want her to do? mop the floor Your sister wants her to mop the floor.
5. What do his grandparents want you to do? sweep the floor His grandparents want me to sweep the floor.

7. What does his brother want her to do? dust the furniture His brother wants her to dust the furniture
8. What do your parents want you to do? vacuum the carpet They want me to vacuum the carpet
Now we will do "Can't" and "couldn't" with "have to" and "had to."
Watch the video
I 1.really 1.can't do the dishes at the moment because You 1.couldn't take out the trash right now We 2. have to dust the furniture right this minute You 2. had to polish the furniture They sweep the floor at that time (1) mop the floor then(1) He 1. can't dry the dishes She 1.couldn't put away the dishes 2. has to set the table 2. had to vacuum the carpet
Question chart:

Why can't I do the dishes couldn't you take out the trash he dust the furniture she polish the furniture we sweep the floor you mop the floor they dry the dishes put away the dishes set the table vacuum the carpet
Here: "at that time" and "then" mean the same thing.
We are going to make sentences like this:
-I can't do the dishes because I have to take out the trash. -I couldn't do the dishes because I had to take out the trash. -You can't take out the trash because you have to put away the dishes. -You couldn't take out the trash because you had to put away the dishes.
You can put in the time too if you want.
I really can't do the dishes right now because I have to polish the furniture.
Got it?
Audio practice:We are going to ask this question: "Why can't you ....?
Ex. Why can't he wash the dishes right now? -He can't wash the dishes right now, because he has to vacuum the carpet.
Ex. Why couldn't he wash the dishes at that time? -He couldn't wash the dishes at that time, because he had to vacuum the carpet.
Got it?
Audio practice:
1. Why couldn't she take out the trash. dry the dishes She couldn't take out the trash, because she had to dry the dishes.
2. Why can't they sweep the floor right now? put away the dishes -They can't sweep the floor right now, because they have to put away the dishes.
3. Why couldn't we vacuum the carpet then? polish the furniture; right away -You couldn't vacuum the carpet then, because you had to polish the furniture right away.

5. Why couldn't you set the table at that time? dry the dishes I couldn't set the table at that time, because I had to dry the dishes.
6. Why can't he do the dishes right now? vacuum the carpet He can't do the dishes right now, because he has to vacuum the carpet.
7. Why couldn't she sweep the floor a few minutes ago? set the table She couldn't sweep the floor a few minutes ago, because she had to set the table.
8. Why can't they polish the furniture right now? dust the furniture -They can't polish the furniture right now, because they have to dust the furniture first.
Ok. In the next chart we are going to use "go" "went" and "have to" "had to" "need to" and "needed to."
We will also use "before that" and "after that"
Watch the video
Chart 1:
I went to the movie theater yesterday. you to the beach two days ago we to the park last week you to school last Saturday.. They to work He She
Chart 2: "After that" "Before that"
Before that I had to do the dishes After that you needed to take out the trash we dust the furniture you polish the furniture they sweep the floor mop the floor he dry the dishes she put away the dishes set the table vacuum the carpet Question Chart:
What did you do yesterday they two days ago he last week she last Saturday...?
Watch the video
This is not hard. We will use one sentence from chart 1 and one from chart 2. Like this:
What did you do yesterday? went to the beach -Yesterday I went to the beach. Before that I had to sweep the floors -After that I had to mop the floor.
"That" = "I went to the beach." Ok.
Note: If you want, you can say it the hard way:
What did you do yesterday? went to the beach
Yesterday, I went to the beach. Before I went to the beach, I had to sweep the floor. After I went to the beach, I had to mop the floor.
