Need vs Have

In the quiz question with the answers "We have to be patient with our teenage children.

We need to be patient with our teenage children."

As a native English speaker, I don't understand the distinction being made between these two options. They seem synonymous.

Correction suggestion

The sound stops halfway through this example:

Conventional conjugation

Hi,

I have read elsewhere that at least some, if not all, of these verbs can be conjugated as normal. Although I am not sure of the circumstances. Is this correct?

I have also seen a list of 100 verbs 'like' gustar. Is this correct.

Gracias y saludos,

Colin

Shouldn't the tú imperative of "haber" = "he" be added to this list?

Isn´t "haber" an irregular verb for the tú imperative since it is "he" rather than "ha"?

How would you make this sentence impersonal in Spanish? "Someone has stolen my bag. "

This is a great example of the stuff that really ticks me off with Progressive! In two consecutive tests, this answer has been given as "me ha robado el bolso" and "me han robado el bolso" ---- WHICH IS IT?! The fact that one version of the indirect pronoun is obvious, but how is one supposed to know which one you are asking for?!!
