Which is correct she has to or she have to?

“She have to.” is incorrect English, and you are right to use “She has to” instead… BUT there is a common dialect of English where “she have to” is normal, and is correct grammar. That dialect is sometimes called urban or inner city English, or Black English, or other names.

What is the difference between ‘have’ and ‘just’ in sentences?

One reason to use the extra “have” is that “just” can also mean “only”, so the “have” can clarify that it means “happened recently”. 1. “I have dinner” -> present or habitual event (i.e.: “I have dinner with my neighbour every day”) 2. “I just had dinner”/”I have just had my dinner” -> Very recently.

Is “I just had dinner” grammatically correct?

I notice many answers from users who are probably Hinglish or something like that, though, in fact, the usage could be British; I’m American. Both “just had dinner” and “just have dinner” are grammatically correct, but in different contexts. If I just ate dinner, that’s what I’d say, not “I just had dinner.”

What is the difference between have to and have got to?

Have (got) to is always followed by a verb. You can think of it as have (got) + infinitive. Have to and have got to have the same meaning and can be used interchangeably. We have (got) to go to school tomorrow. James cancelled our date tonight.
