Hay que hacer algo
Hi, can you help me understand how "hay que hacer algo" is translated into "something has to be done". Thanks

hay que = one must do something (the 'do something" part is the infinitive that follows the expression) The English passive voice translation that you posted can be said using the active voice: One must do something.
tener que = must do something (the infinitive that follows the conjugated expression provides the "do something" part) Also translated as 'has to do ..."
