While in Latin "amare habeo" is the indirect discourse "I have to love", in
the French equivalent,"aimerai" (habeo > ayyo > ai, aimer+ai), it has
become the future tense, "I shall love", losing the sense of obligation. In
Medieval Latin, however, it was still indirect discourse and not yet used
as simply a future tense.
