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 'si:
  2. We have to stop using so much petrol.
    hæftə 'stɑp
  3. I really have to go now.
    hæftə 'goʊ
  4. She has to finish cooking the books.
    hæstə 'fɪnɪʃ
  • The first sounds /hæ/ of have to and has to can not be phonetically reduced
    • They never become ə(v) as have alone can when preceding a past participle. (could have gone, for example)
    • has to never becomes z as has can in She's got time. for example

The reduction takes place around the pivot "to", as with the verbs going to V and want to V, where even the t disappears!

  • I'm going to go. (sometimes written: I'm gonna' go.)
    aɪm 'ɡɔnə 'goʊ
  • I want to be... (sometimes written: I wanna' be.)
    aɪ 'wɑn ə bi

  5. has to get it done:
    'hæstə 'getɪt 'dʌn
  6. 'll have to get it done:
    (ə)l'hæftə 'getɪt 'dʌn

  1. Do you need to lie down?
  2. Do you have to work tomorrow?

  1. Won't you need to buy insurance?
  2. Will you need to take time off?
  3. Won't you have to ask accounting?
  4. Will you have to pay taxes this year?
