Have and have got

Have / has / had= possess, but we also use have for other things (for example, family relationships):

• We have a new car.

• I have a brother and two sisters.

• Tom has a headache!/ a cold /the flu / etc.

• When she was a child, she had long blonde hair.         

Have got / has got

 You can use have got / has got rather than have/ has alone:

• We’ve got a new car. (= We have a new car.)

• Tom has got a headache. (= Tom has a hcadache.) ]

The question and negative forms are:

• Have you got a headache? (= do you have)

• Has she got any brothers or sisters? (= does she have)

• I haven’t got any money. (= I don’t have)

• Ann hasn’t got a car. (Ann doesn’t have)

 But don’t use got for the past:

• When she was a child, she had long blonde hair. (not she had got)

(You cannot use have got in these expressions.)دقت کنید.در مثالهای زیر از Have got نمیتوانیم استفاده کنیم.

• I always have a big breakfast in the morning. (not have got)

• Did you have a good time last night?

• We’re having a party on Saturday. Would you like to come?

•  What time does Ann usually have lunch?
