Let’s review When do we use to have as an
auxiliary verb? For instance: I had my

what we A) When we do something ourselves
B) When we employee someone to
saw last do something for us (have something
done)
week C) When we wanted to do something
but, at the end, we didn’t do it.
Have something done
have something done
Have / get something done

• When instead of using “something” (such as “my car”), we use someone

(like “a mechanic”), the structure changes. We use the infinitive and the
base form, depending on which verb we are using:
• HAVE:
• SUBJECT + HAVE + SOMEONE + DO SOMETHING
• I have my mechanic fix my car.
• GET:
• SUBJECT + GET + SOMEONE + TO DO SOMETHING
• I got my mechanic to fix my car.
• It has the same meaning. However, GET is more
informal.

 Have meaning ‘take’ (a shower, a drink, etc.),
‘give’ (a party), ‘encounter’ (find) & ‘experience’.

• Have can have different meanings depending on the words • ‘Encounter’ (trouble, difficulties)
that come after it. It can mean: • Did you have any trouble finding the place?
• ‘Take’ (a meal, a drink, a shower, a bath, a massage, a lesson, • ‘Experience’, ‘enjoy’ (day, weather, time, etc.)
etc.)
• We had so much fun! // We had a wonderful weekend in
• I’m going to have a massage tomorrow.// How Los Angeles.
many lessons do you have every week?
• ‘Give’ (a party)
• We are having a party next week; do you want to come?

In all these cases have is a dynamic verb, so it can be used
in continuous forms.
•I’m having a lot of problems with my new computer. //
We are having fantastic weather.
In all these cases have is a main verb, and we
need do or did or another auxiliary to make questions and
negatives.
•Do you have a shower in the mornings? // You won’t
have any trouble.
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 (have got)

• 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 (not that common)

• In negative sentences sometimes we leave out got to express possession.

• I haven’t time to do what I want, instead of I haven’t got time….
• 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)

about and a question for you to discuss. First you
have some time to look at the task.

choosing where to live?
• jobs
• public transport
• entertainment
• size of the property
• who they live with

Now, talk to each other about what people need to consider when they are
choosing where to live.
Now you have about a minute to decide which are the
two most important things to take into account.

• Where is the best place to live in (your city/town)?

• Some people live with their parents until they are in their
30s. What do you think about that?
• Is it a good idea to live abroad at least once in your
lifetime?
