No, I have seen this a few times before and I even learned a little bit on it but I can't really remember, does anybody know about this grammar?

Esto es una perífrasis verbal. Hay varios tipos de perífrasis verbales y tienen características concretas. En este caso es una perífrasis verbal de obligación. Las perífrasis verbales de obligación son las siguientes:

Deber + infinitivo: debes llegar pronto
Tener que + inf.: tienes que llegar pronto
Haber que + inf. : hay que llegar pronto
Haber de + inf.: has de llegar pronto, has de ser más bueno.

Haber + ser no se suele usar mucho en España, aunque es perfectamente correcto, se suele usar más Tener que + ser: Tienes que ser más bueno,

I like to be useful and I think we are here for helping each other (now that I've written this I question myself: is this the same in plural?, I mean: "los unos a los otros" means "each other").

I think you said me that you understood me because what I told you the other day , but surely you'll understand me less when I write in English...
