Please give us an example sentence or two. I don't quite understand your problem.

For example,

-The company to confirm counducting the tests
-The company has to confirm counding the test

The question is ... what is the diffrence and when we use each one ??

I hope you get my point

Thank you in advance

Still not quite, Breakdown, but I can say this:

-The company to confirm testing-- This is not a complete sentence, though it could be a newspaper headline. A correct form would be:

The company is to confirm testing -- This means that the company is expected to or is planning to confirm the testing.


-The company has to confirm testing-- This means that the company is required to confirm the testing.

Does that help?
