Explanation:

- "Have to" is used with plural subjects (we, they) and the first-person singular (I).
- "Has to" is used with third-person singular subjects (he, she, it).
- In past tense contexts, "had to" is used for all subjects.

This ensures grammatical correctness based on subject-verb agreement.
