__Tener and Hay que!__

 **Tener que + infinitive** is one way to express obligation or necessity. This expression can be translated as "someone has to do something." Tener is conjugated according to the subject of the sentence. > **Tengo que comer las verduras.** > I have to eat the vegetables. **Ángel tiene que leer el periódico.** > Ángel has to read the newspaper. **Ellos tienen que comprar una revista.** > They have to buy a magazine.

**Hay que + infinitive** is used to express the idea of "one must do something" or, "it is necessary to do something." It is a more general expression and since there is no subject, the verb form hay is always used. > **Hay que tomar un taxi.** > It is necessary to take a taxi. **Hay que estudiar mucho.** > One must study a lot.

She has to study. **No es fácil aprender el español. __Hay que__ practicar mucho.** > It isn't easy to learn Spanish. It is necessary to practice a lot.
