About the tense usage of "have to"
I saw the sentence in an ESL textbook, "What does she have to do this Saturday"? Since this Saturday doesn't come yet, can we say "What will she have to do this Saturday?"? Why or why not? Thanks.

"? Why or why not? You may, but a native speaker will use the present because the necessity has already been determined for doing something on Saturday.
