Question about sentences
Dear all,
I would like to know whether the following expressions are correct. I am unsure about the usage "would + have to" and "might + have to". If such expressions exist, kindly tell me the meaning of those expressions.

3) We might have to take a taxi.
4) We might have to give money.
Thank you.
