In the question were asked about the difference between I havent and I dont have.

When we use I dont have, for example I dont have a pen were using have as a main verb meaning I dont have a car !o "ou have a pencil# We need the auxiliar" verb do to help support the main verb have. $ccasionall" "oull hear someone sa" I havent a clue, but using havent in this wa" isnt reall" usual. %o for example we wouldnt normall" sa" I havent a pen or I havent a book. We would normall" sa" I dont have a book, or I dont have pen.

In &ritish 'nglish, of course, "ou might also hear Ive got Ive got a book, Ive got a pen, Ive got a new car. (ere have is pla"ing the part of the auxiliar" verb and this is where we can use havent I havent got a book, I havent got a pen, (ave "ou got a new car#

Its important to remember then that have can be a main verb or an auxiliar" verb. If its a main verb "ou need another auxiliar" to support it, such as do. !o "ou have a new car#

When its an auxiliar" verb its helping another verb (ave "ou got a new car# &ut please tr" to avoid I havent a new car.
