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:
- They all need to see a doctor.
ni:dtə(ʊ)si: - We have to stop using so much petrol.
hæftəstɑp - I really have to go now.
hæftəgəʊ - She has to finish cooking the books.
hæstəfɪnɪʃ
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)
