the pronunciation of have to
Dear all,
What is the percentage of "have to" pronunciation as voiced and unvoiced ?
Which one do you commonly say ? unvoiced or voiced for the same word "have to","has to", and "had to" ?

Many thanks

Re: the pronunciation of have to
In normal conversation in standard BrE, we almost aways use the unvoiced vowels /f/, in have to; /s/, in has to; and /t/ in had to. Some of us use the voiced equivalents, but only in slow, careful speech .
Context is important. Please provide enough for us to be able to deal effectively with your question.
Your thread title should include all or part of the word/phrase being discussed.
