What’s the difference between;
“I have to do something” and
“I will have to do something” and
“I have got to do something”
The first two are easy. This is the difference between Present Simple and Future simple.
“I Have to do something” the verb is have just like you could say;
“I have a headache”
Right now you have the need to do something.
But when you say “I will have to do something”
This is future simple. You’re talking about some time in the future which means you probably need to say when you are talking about.
If Colin asks me;
“Do you want to play board games this afternoon?”
And I said “mmm I will have to do something before I can do that.”
So I don’t need to do it now, but this afternoon I have something I need to do, or will have something to do.
“Will have to do” something is explicitly talking about the future.
Now the third one is a bit trickier because it is Present Perfect.
We often use present tenses to talk about the future.
Basically, if you need to do something now, that implies, you’re going to do it in the future.
The need exists now, which means the action of doing it is going to be in the future.
