Verb “to have”
Auxiliary or main verb?
Have as a main verb
When we use have as a main verb, it works as any other verb. We need an auxiliary
verb, e.g. do, to make questions and negatives and we don’t normally use its
contracted form.
Have meaning ‘possess’ or ‘suffer’ (from
pain, illness, etc.)
We use have to talk about possession. We need the verb do to make questions and
negatives. The past form is had and it’s a stative verb, so it CANNOT be used in
progressive forms.
•Do you have time?
•I’ve had this watch since I was a child.
•I have a terrible headache.
“Have to” for obligation
Have to is used to express obligation; usually to talk about obligation coming from others:
rules, regulations, etc. In this case, have is also a stative verb.
•We have to wear a uniform at school.
•Remember you have to return the book before next month.
We need do or another auxiliary verb to make questions and negatives.
•You won’t have to show me your credential, it won’t be necessary.
•I didn’t have to say anything, because they already knew.
The negative form of have to is used to talk about lack of necessity (NOT about prohibition)
•I don’t have to get up too early tomorrow. (=I don’t need to)
Have something done
When we have something done, it means that we ’employ someone to do something for us’.
•I have my house cleaned every Thursday. (=I employ someone to clean my house.)
We can also use have something done when something bad happens to us.
•He had his wallet stolen in Piccadilly.
•They had their house destroyed by the fire.
Have here is a dynamic verb, so it can be used in progressive forms.
•We are having the house redecorated.
In informal speech, the it’s common to use get instead of have.
•Where did you get your car serviced?
Have meaning ‘take’ (a shower, a drink,
etc.), ‘give’ (a party), etc.
Have can have different meanings depending on • We had a wonderful weekend in Los Angeles.

• Did you have any trouble finding the place? •You won’t have any trouble.
•‘Experience’, ‘enjoy’ (day, weather, time, etc.)
• We had so much fun!
Have as an auxiliary verb
When have is used as an auxiliary verb, it normally has negative and interrogative
forms and it can be contracted.
Have got used for possession
In informal English, it is common to use have got instead of have to talk about
possession. When expressing possession, the verb have is not an auxiliary verb when
used on its own, but it is an auxiliary verb in have got.
•I haven’t got any brothers or sisters = I don’t have any brothers or sisters.
•How many computers have you got? = How many computers do you have?
The verb have got only exists in the present tense.
•We didn’t have an umbrella and got wet. (NOT hadn’t got an umbrella).
Haven’t for possession
In negative sentences sometimes we leave out got to express possession.
•I haven’t time to do what I want.
•I haven’t a clue.
•I haven’t the slightest idea.
Have got to for obligation
In informal English we can also use have got to express the idea of obligation. It is
normally used to talk about specific obligations rather than general obligations.
•I’ve got to call my boss after lunch. (=specific obligation)
•I have to wear a tie at work. (=general obligation)
