Things to do
1) I have things to do tonight.
2) There are things I have to do tonight.
Can't these sentences mean two things:
a) There are things I am obligated to do.
b) There are things I can do. (I won't be bored... there are things I can do_
Sometimes familiar things look strange to me!
Gratefully,
Navi.

In both cases (a) is the meaning that I think of. I suppose (1) could mean (b) in a particular context. I find it harder to see (2) meaning (b).
