When I first started learning Spanish, someone told me that it was not "Tengo que ir", but "Me tengo que irme."

Which is correct?

Buenos días.

If you mention a particular place that you are going you'd say "Tengo que ir a la tienda."

If you are just leaving, but not to any place in particular you'd say "Tengo que irme."
