Hi, everybody.

Could you help me, please.
Should I use will have to or have to in the sentence. Or may be both these structures are correct.

I'm afraid I can't come tomorrow. I have to / will have to work late.

Thank you in advance.

I think " I have to " would be correct :)

Hi Geo,

Your sentence:

Quote:
I'm afraid I can't come tomorrow. I have to / will have to work late
.

As you know that 'working late' is necessary, I would use 'I have to'.

If the 'working late ' wasn't known or you have had to make sudden changes, you would use 'will have to' and it would look like this:

I'm afraid I can't come tomorrow because I have just been given extra work and that means ! will have to work late.

Alan
