diffrence between I have to go and I have gone

Hello

My name is Sandy and my question is, why we are use "I have to go" because "have is used only in present perfect tense", If we are use to "have" , then why we have not wrote this sentense "I have to gone". Have not used in "simple indefinite tense" is, am and are use only in simple indefinite tense

No, that is not true. 'Have' has 3 uses:

1. Auxiliary verb, present perfect: I have seen that movie.
2. Main verb, present: I have an apple.
3. Semi-auxiliary, present: I have to go now = (I must go now)

But according to grammar (Have/Has + V3 ) is used only in present perfect tense, and (am, is, are + V1 in present indefinite tense).

You are speaking only of auxiliary verbs. I have shown you that 'have' is also used otherwise.
