31. The verb have 1 Have and have got Look at these examples. HAVE HAVE GOT We have three cats. We've got three cats. Emma has toothache. Vicky has got blue eyes. Daniel doesn’t have a car. Thaven’t got any money. Do you have the address? ~ Yes, I do. Have you got a ticket? ~ No, I haven't. Here have and have got mean the same thing. We can normally use either form. But have got is more informal. Note that we do not use have got in short answers (No, I haven't.) 2 Forms PRESENT TENSE have have got POSITIVE Tyou/welthey have Iyou/welthey have got or I/you/welthey’ve got He/shefit has He/she/it has got ox He/she/it’s got NEGATIVE ‘Tyou/welthey don't have Tyou/welthey haven't got He/she/it doesn't have He(shefit hasn’t got QUESTION Do Tyoutwerthey have?

The action verb have Here are some examples of have as an action verb. Mark has lunch around one. Ihave a shower every morning. ‘The children had a game of cards. We had a wonderful holiday. Have expresses an action. Mark has lunch means that he eats lunch. With the action verb have we cannot use got and we cannot use a short form. Not Mark has got lunch around one and Not P've-a-shower every-morning: The action verb have can also be continuous. Mark is having lunch now. We were having a conversation in English. What time are you having your driving lesson? In negatives and questions in simple tenses, we use a form of do. We didn’t have a very good time. We don’t have parties very often. Where do you have lunch? How often does Vicky have strange dreams? In English we often use expressions like have a talk instead of a verb like talk. Here are some examples, Shall we have a swim? I usually have a rest in the afternoon. Thad a talk with Daniel. Trevor and Laura are having an argument.
