To be + infinitive with to
Hello everybofy!
In the last English lesson I learnt a new grammar rule.. and I´m surprised because I had never heard about it until now.
That was the sentence:
"I´m to print those reports"
It was said that its translation is like, it´s a duty.
So these are my question:
Is it the same meaning: I have to print those reports?"
And, if it is the same meaning,what are the differences between both sentences and in what situations can we use the first one?
Thank you very much and have a good day,
Ophelia.
