Hola Goo
Yes, absolutely. It is all in the present tense in this lesson because it is an A1 lesson.
You can also say for example (still expressing obligation):
Ayer tuve que pagar una multa.
Yesterday I had to pay a fine.
Mañana tendremos que salir temprano.
Tomorrow we will have to leave early.
Hemos tenido que hablar con nuestro jefe.
We had to speak with our boss.
Saludos
