  1. 1
    Neutral: tener que + infinitive gives a polite exit without excuses; ¡Hasta luego! works with anyone. Tener: possession, age, sensations, tener que →
  2. 2
    me tengo que ir = tengo que irme: the pronoun of irse can move in front of tengo. Double object pronouns (se lo) and clitic placement →
