10 HAVE GOT
A lot of the time when we think of have, we think of the perfect tenses, but there is another way
to use have and have got that isn't for the perfect tense.

[00:00:09] We use it to show possession. We can use it for physical things, like to have or have
got a car. And we can use it for personal characteristics, like when describing someone, how
they look. Their eye color or hair.

[00:00:22] So, let's take a look.

[00:00:24] To have something. The conjugation is simple. All you need to do is remember how to
conjugate have.

[00:00:30] I have green eyes.

[00:00:32] We have two days until the project is due.

[00:00:35] You have an amazing smile!

[00:00:37] They have two sons.

[00:00:38] He has a new house.

[00:00:39] She has a beautiful purse.

[00:00:42] It has a bone to play with.

[00:00:44] This is the verb I most often see advanced learners make mistakes with. Have. Take
your time and really practice! Because it sounds strange if you say "I has." We need to say:

[00:00:55] I have. You have. She has.

[00:00:59] To have got. The meaning is exactly the same. To have or have got. They mean the
same thing, and they both are very popular. In fact in spoken English all over the world, we
often don't say the 'have' in 'have got.' Instead, we just say:

[00:01:13] I got. We got. You got.

[00:01:16] It is much much more informal and you will hear it a lot! Just don't write that on a
test, because technically it's incorrect. It is only for spoken, informal English. And to remember,
here's how to conjugate have got the correct way.

[00:01:31] I have got, I've got some free time.

[00:01:34] We have got, we've got two coffees.

[00:01:38] You have got, you've got a nice computer.

[00:01:41] They have got, they've got a good education.

[00:01:45] He has got, he's got no more time.

[00:01:48] She has got, she's got the right answer.

[00:01:51] It has got, its got no more clean water.

[00:01:54] To negate have and have got. I we you they don't have, or long form, do not have. He
she it doesn't have, or does not have.

[00:02:06] QUESTION: I ٠٠٠٠ the answer.

[00:02:10] I don't have the answer.

[00:02:13] QUESTION: He ٠٠٠٠ the time.

[00:02:16] He doesn't have the time.

[00:02:18] QUESTION: It ٠٠٠٠ that feature.

[00:02:22] It doesn't have that feature.

[00:02:25] And for have got, to negate it we say:

[00:02:28] I we you they haven't got, or have not got.

[00:02:33] He she it hasn't got, or has not got. Again contractions are much more common in
most spoken situations.

[00:02:42] The long form might be used for a formal situation or writing, or again to add
emphasis or stress.

[00:02:49] Asking questions with have and have got. Have and have got have different ways to
ask questions. So pay attention!

[00:02:55] Do and have. With to have we just put do or does at the beginning of the sentence.

[00:03:34] Questions with have got. Have got is slightly different and here we will use inversion.
Do you remember what inversion means from before?

[00:03:42] We just change the order of subject and verb, that's inversion! Let me show you.

[00:03:51] She's got brown eyes becomes has she got brown eyes?

[00:03:55] Have I got? Have we got? Have you got? Have they got? Has he got? Has she got? Has
