have to V / need to V

phonetics

The most basic tools used to express obligation, they form a phonetic unit with the following verb. In the most informal speech, one hears:

  1. They all need to see a doctor.
    ni:dtə(ʊ)si:
  2. We have to stop using so much petrol.
    hæftəstɑ:p
  3. I really have to go now.
    hæftəgəʊ
  4. She has to finish cooking the books.
    hæstəfɪnɪʃ
<p>Have and has can not be phonetically reduced on the left side hæf and hæs never become ə(v) as it does preceding a past participle. The reduction takes place around the pivot "to". There are many similar reductions around the pivot "to" in English.

  • I'm gonna' go (going to)
  • I wanna' go (want to)
