Have to
"Have to" es un semiauxiliar que se suele traducir por "tener que".
La diferencia con "must" es que "must" se usa para dar órdenes o expresar una obligación moral interna de la persona que habla u ordena y "have to" indica que la obligación viene de normas externas, una tercera persona o de una circunstancia.
I must go to work.
Tengo que ir a trabajar.
I have to do what my parents say.
Tengo que hacer lo que mis padres dicen.
Una de las características importantes que lo distinguen de los "auxiliares puros", como "must", es que necesita del auxiliar "do" para la negación y la interrogación. También se le añade -s a la tercera persona del singular.
Su conjugación en presente simple del indicativo sería:

Hola Camila,
Tienes razon, el verbo to be es una excepción. No usa do/does para hacer preguntas. Por ejemplo, decimos Are you…? en lugar de Do you be…?.»
En este artículo nos estamos enfocando en «to have» por lo que al ser have, formulamos de esta manera las preguntas.
Saludos!

c) They _have__ (have) a big house in New York.

¡Hola Alizze!
Aquí estamos ejercitando el uso del verbo «to have» en oraciones interrogativas que es de uso diario en inglés. Que como dice el ejercicio, se formula de esta forma: «Do/does + sujeto + verbo +… ?» en donde do/does es nuestro verbo auxiliar y have nuestro verbo principal.
espero esto te ayude!
