When we are talking about possession, relationships, illnesses and
characteristics of people or things we can use either have or have got. The have got forms are more common in an informal style. E.g. -I've got a new computer. -They haven't got any red chili peppers. -She's got long, brown hair. -He hasn't got many friends. You can’t use have got for actions.
E.g. I have a shower every morning before I go to work.
I have got a shower ---- WRONG The negative is have/has + not + got? *Don't forget the contraction.
E.g. Daisy hasn't got her books yet.
You haven't got 50 p, have you? The question form: have/has + subject + got.
E.g. Have you got everything you need? Yes. I have.
Have we got any red chilli peppers at home? Has she got a minute? No, she hasn’t.
