Meaning of words
What's the meaning of ( have to),(going to),(should have),(looking nice) in Spanish?

If you use the translator and the conjugator, you will be able to find both the correct answers in more depth as well as the correct conjugated sentences because the responses that JoshuaBelden has given are only correct if conjugated to the 3rd person singular and "debe tener" is simply incorrect unless you are saying you should "have something in your possesion" and not "have done something". ("Tener" and "haber" are two different things which share the same word in English.)
Even though the translator is a good move, it all makes more sense when learned in context, so you should also look for these topics as they come up in the lessons (and they will come up).
(All in their infinitive states, so they need conjugating) :
To have to = Tener que / Hay que (if generalizing)
Going to = Ir a
Should have = Deber haber
Keep studying!
Have to - something that you must do, a duty/obligation. I have to go to sleep early so that I wake up early enough to get ready for school on time. I have to drink lots of water because I do a lot of running everyday. You have to leave right now! You have to go to sleep at 5'oclock. etc etc
Going to = something you will be doing later, something that will "be" later
It's going to rain this afternoon. I'm going to the store. I was going to go to the store, but changed my mind. etc etc etc
'Should have' can be used two ways. I should have my money by three o'clock (talking about the future) or I should have went to work today (talking about the past)
The main part is 'should' ...when you add past tense in the sentence.. it talks about the past. I should have 'went' to work. I should have 'gone' to school.
A translator should do nice
The meaning would be the same in Spanish.
Translated would be, hay que, va a, debe tener, mirando niza.
