Dear teachers,
Could you please give me the parts of speech of the underlined words, and tell me as clearly as possible the reason for your choice ?
He will have to get up early to go to school.
He will go to school tomorrow.
Is "will" a modal auxiliary verb or just a helping verb in the sentences above ?
or is "will" always considered a modal auxiliary verb ?
have + to = should they be analysed together as a semi-modal auxiliary or should they be considered separately, i.e.,
have = primary auxiliary verb
to = preposition or something else ?
Do we recognise a modal verb by the fact that it does not take any inflections ? In that case "will" would be a modal but not "have to" ??
Should I analyse "get up" as one word or 2 parts of speech ?
get = main verb + up = adverb, OR
get up = phrasal verb
Thank you in advance.
