Subject: "Grammar"

When I learned English at high school( of course in Japan), I was taught:

"have" should be read as "haff" in such usage: I have to go to school. Of
course, "have" to be read as "hav" in case that it means " to possess".

I am not sure, if what I have learned is correct.

Regards,
Yasuji Waki
