Hi Elga

The interrogative and negative forms of "have to" in the present simple generally use do or does.

For example:

I have to work.
I don't have to work.
Do you have to work?
You have to work, don't you?
He doesn't have to work, does he?

Hi Torsten

In my opinion, this test could use some additional punctuation. The very least would be a period/full stop after the word "example" in this test sentence.
