Please explain to me.. As I read the newspaper, I found a grammatically irregular term. See the following sentence. People watching a live sports game like a European League soccer match won't have to suffer the frustration of a slow feed or disconnection thanks to the stronger connectivity. The question is why there are two verbs in that sentence "won't have to suffer" and "thanks". I don't get it.

Hi James, in this sentence "thanks" is not being used as a verb. It is like saying "due to" or "because of." So, you could write instead: People watching a live sports game like a European League soccer match won't have to suffer the frustration of a slow feed or disconnection due to the stronger connectivity. I hope this helps!

People watching a live sports game like a European League soccer match won't have to suffer the frustration of a slow feed or disconnection thanks to the stronger connectivity. "have to" is a modal verb here, have to suffer = unavoidable, "don't have to suffer" -- present tense, "won't have to suffer" -- future tense here "thanks" isn't a verb, it's the equivalent of "due to"

"(They) won't have to suffer..." There's nothing irregular about this at all. The "won't have to" part works the same was as "won't be forced to/made to/obliged to". Jared's explained the use of "thanks to" pretty well, and once again this is a regular and common expression.
