	Ruslana  +  962420 Thu, 05 Nov 09 01:30 PM She's had to do a lot of work. = She has had to do a lot of work. "She has has to do a lot of work" doesn't make sense. It's Present Perfect tense here, which means you need the construction "to have + past participle". More examples: I have done a lot of work today. I have had a lot of work today. She has done a lot of work today. Ruslana Joined on Sat, Dec 17 2005 Senior Member 3,671 Constructions, Tenses, Present Tenses, Present Perfect, Sentences

	DeepSouthRick  +  962421 Thu, 05 Nov 09 01:31 PM The first sentence is correct. Almost. It should be "She's had to do a lot of work."   The second sentence is incorrect because "She's" is a contraction of "She has." So the second sentence would actually be "She has has to do a lot of work."   English_Learner123 “Hello,   Is the following sentence is correct: She's had to do lot of work.
