1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Rationale
English is one of the necessary subjects for students in general, and even more
important for high school students because it is not only a compulsory subject at
school but also a subject of decision in the important contests as high school exams
and university entrance exams. It is considered as a main key to open the treasure
of human knowledge. Like other languages, English verbs are the main ingredients
in the English sentence. Among the many verbs, the TO HAVE verb is used and
how to use it can be said to be the most diverse.
For students, the knowledge related to the TO HAVE verb and differences of this
verb in each structure are not simple. Therefore, I have decided to choose the topic
"The knowledge related to the TO HAVE verb in English" to systematize in a
relatively full usage and to help students learn more effectively.
1.2. Aims of the study
This study is conducted to help 11th – form students of Ba Thuoc 3rd Upper
secondary school to understand the TO HAVE verb more clearly. Furthermore, it is
hoped that students learn how to use the knowledge relating to the TO HAVE verb.
To summarize the above, my study is aimed at:
Providing the theoretical background about the verb “ to have”
Analyzing the types of the TO HAVE verb and its specific usages
Some difficulties posibly encountered by students at Ba Thuoc 3rd Upper
secondary school when using the TO HAVE verb .
Suggesting some feasible solutions to help teacher and students at the
school improve the quality of teaching and learning English skills, especially in
mastering English grammar rules.

1.3. Scope of the study
Given the rationale and the aims of the study, it is necessary to limit the study to
the areas which are manageable. Benefits of summarizing the knowledge involved
with TO HAVE verb create the effectiveness of students’ learning and grammar
which focus on two factors: developing students’s motivation and understanding of
the lesson. The subject under the study are the 11 th – form students at Ba Thuoc 3 rd
Upper secondary school.
1.4. Methods of the study
To complete this study, the following steps implemented:
Collected references and books related to English grammar are analyzed in
details to form the theoretical background this paper.
The available theory concerning with TO HAVE verb is studied and
followed in my study paper.

`2


Ideas of some possible difficulties are got from my understanding the
English learning and teaching English at Ba Thuoc 3rd Upper secondary school as
well as my gained experiences in training course.
2. DEVELOPMENT
2.1. Practical background
English verb is a main ingredient in sentence and TO HAVE verb in the English
language is also. Moreover, this verb is also used in many sentence structures with
many different meanings.
Obviously, TO HAVE verb along with TO BE verb has the most diverse usage in
English. These are the verbs which the students encounter regularly during the
process of learning English at school.
However, during the time of teaching English, we can see that not all students can
master the knowledge system related to this verb.

There are many reasons why students can not master this knowledge well. The
first reason is because of the English learning environment. Primarily, students
often practise writing to memorize grammatical structures and do not pay much
attention to practising speaking. The second one is that students themselves are not
aware of the necessity of learning English subject and learn English as a
compulsory task. The limited ability of the students for absorbing English lessons is
also considered as a reason students can not achieve high results although some
students have tried to spend much time on learning English. The last reason is
because students do not know how to systematize the knowledge accordingly so
that they can master the basic content of a lesson.
It is a fact that students try to remember the formula mechanically, or think
carelessly and sometimes do not find out the nature of the problem clearly to infer
basic conclusions.
Therefore, teachers should provide a fairly complete knowledge system to their
students , and help them understand carefully the knowledge learned.
2.2. The reality of teaching and learning the knowledge related to TO HAVE
verb at Ba Thuoc 3rd Upper secondary school.
For high school students in general and at Ba Thuoc 3 rd Upper secondary school
in particular , the TO HAVE verb is usually considered as a auxiliary verb and
they do not know about the other usages of this verb. If regular verbs in the present
tense on confirmation is divided as V, Vs or Ves with most verbs (eg I like ... or ...
He likes; I watch ... or He watches ...), the HAVE verb can be divided into
“HAVE” or “HAS”
Students need to distinguish the difference between HAVE and HAVE GOT . The
negative forms of “HAVE” are used as “ DO NOT HAVE” or “DOES NOT HAVE”
while “HAVE GOT” being “HASN’T GOT” or “GOT”.
`3


In the next lesson, the students are required to distinguish the usages of “HAVE”

meant as “possess” (sở hữu). It is a fact that most of the students have translated
an English sentence "I have breakfast at 6:30 a.m" into Vietnamese : " Tôi có bữa
sáng lúc sáu rưỡi sáng."
They also have to keep in mind that “ HAVE” means as "possess", it is not used in
the continuous tenses. However, the “HAVE” verb has other meanings used in the
continuous tenses.
For example, we can say: "I'm having breakfast." but we can not say, "She is
having a new car of the her own now".
The TO HAVE verb with the function of an auxiliary verb is also complicated. It
can be used as auxiliary verb in the present perfect tense, present perfect
continuous tense, past perfect tense , past perfect continuous tense, future perfect,
future perfect continuous (active and passive sentences ).
In short, to teach students how to understand and distinguish the different usages
of the TO HAVE verb is very difficult, and it is more difficult to help students
how to systematize this knowledge in a fairly full way.
2.3. The usages of TO HAVE verb in English
2.3.1. Pronunciation
Being a special verb, “TO HAVE” is conjugated : “has/have” for the present
tense and “had” for past tense . In affirmative form or negative from; present tense
or part tense, the verb has its abbreviation:
“have” can be pronounced as [hæv ] or [həv]
“has” can be pronounced as [hæz] or [həz]
We pronounce [hæv]/ [hæz] when there is stress and [həv]/[ həz] when there is no.
I have – I’ve [aiv]
He has – He’s[hi:z]
She has – She’s [∫i:z]
It has - It’s[its]
We has – We’ve[wi:v]
You have – You’ve [ju:v]
They have – They’ve[ðeiv]

have not = haven’t [hævnt]
has not = hasn’t [hæznt]
had not= hadn’t [hædnt]
Eg:
has [həz] Has anyone seen my pencil?
He has been here.
She has got a book.
[s]
It’s fallen on the floor
What’s happened?
`4


[hæz] Has he got a ballpen?-> yes, he has
He hasn’t seen it yes.
have [həv] Where have you been?
I have got a book
They have gone
[hæv] Have you got a pen? -> yes, I have
I haven’t seen you for weeks
Have you finished?
had [hæd] He had a headache yesterday.
I hadn’t a car

2.3.2.1.4. Notes on the form of HAVE and HAVE GOT meaning POSSESS
HAVE and HAVE GOT (= possess) are often interchangable but there are
differences between British and American usage.
a, HAVE GOT is basically a perfect form.
Compare the following:
a, get (= obtain)
b, have got (= possess)
A: Go and get the tickets.
A: Have you got the ticket?
What have you got?
B: Yes, I’ve got the tickets.

B: I’ve got the tickets.
(= I posess them)
(= I have obtained them)
In British English, HAVE GOT can be used as the perfect form of GET to mean
“have obtained” as in “a” above. This meaning is emphasized in the American
English form “have gotten” which always means “have obtained”. However, in
British English (more rarely in American English) HAVE GOT can also mean
“possess” as in “b” above.
“I have the tickets” and “I’ve got the tickets” are equivalents.
Indeed, in spoken , idiomatic British English
“I’ve got the tickets” is more common than “I have the tickets”
b, In British English, questions and negative with HAVE = POSSESS can be
formed in the same way as for BE.
We say:
“Are you ready?”
“Have you a pen?” (= Have you got a pen?)
“Aren’t you ready?”
“Haven’t you a pen?” (= Haven’t you got a pen?)
“You aren’t ready.”
“You haven’t a pen.” (= You haven’t got a pen.)
There is an alternative negative form for HAVE GOT.
I’ve not got a pen.
But this is less common than
I haven’t got a pen.
HAVE on its own (without GOT) can also form questions and negatives with
do/does/ did. This is usual in American English and is becoming more common in
British English. To the extent that:
“I hadn’t a pen.” and “Had you a pen?” are becoming rare.
Common:
You don’t have a pen.

Do you have a pen?
You didn’t have a pen.
Did you have a pen?
c, HAVE (= possess) is a stative verb. It can’t be used in the progressive though it
can be used in all simple tenses.

Present
: I have a Ford.
Past
: He had a Ford last year.
Present perfect
: She has had this car for five years.
Past perfect
: She told me she had had this car for five years.
Future
: I will have a new car soon.
Future perfect
: By March she will have had her car for five years
With modal
: I can have a Ford as a company car.
HAVE (= possess) is not normally used in the passive. The imperative (never with
GOT) is rare:
Have patience!
d, HAVE GOT (= possess) is normally used only for present reference:
I’ve got a Ford.
The affirmative “had got” is sometime possible in the past, “had” on its own is
generally preferred.
The bride looked lovely. Her dress had (got) beautiful flowers.

We can never use “had got” for certain states.
He had ( not “had got”) long hair when he was a teenager.
“had got” is generally used in its original sense of “had obtained”.
When I saw him, he had just got a new car.
“will have got” is only used in the sense of “will have obtained”.
By May I will have got / will have obtained a new car.
HAVE GOT in the passive is impossible.
e, HADN’T GOT is usually possible to DIDN’T HAVE
I didn’t have / hadn’t got an appointment so I made one for 4 p.m
I felt cold. I didn’t have / hadn’t got a coat.
HADN’T on its own (always contracted) is possible.
I hadn’t an appointment.
I hadn’t a coat.
But not very usual.
In past questions, the usual form is:
Did you have a coat?
Did you have an appoitment?
When did you have one?
“Had you…?” sounds old-fashioned and formal.
“Had you got…?” can be used in Yes/No questions but sounds awkward in Whquestions, so is ususlly avoided.
Had you got an appointment?
But not usual:
When had you got …?
HAVE GOT is preferable to HAVE in WHICH subject-questions:
`7


Which (pen) have you got? (or Which pen do you have?)
But not usual:
Which pen have you?

f, Some form of HAVE (= possess) are rare or not encounted at all.
-The short form of the affirmative, especially in the third person (he’s / she’s)
The full form is used
He/ She has a pen. ( not He’s a pen. )
-The uncontracted negative ( The contracted form is normal.)
I haven’t/ hadn’t a pen.
-Some question forms, except when formed with DO
g, Compare
My bag’s old. It’s old. (= My bag is old. It is old. )
My bag’s got a hole in it. It’s got a hole in it.
(= My bag has got a hole in it. It has got a hole in it. )
h, The non-standard form “ain’t got” is commonly heard in place of “haven’t got”
and “hadn’t got”.
I ain’t got my bag.
She ain’t got her bag.
Similarly “have” and “has” are often omitted before “got”
I got my car outside.
2.3.2.1.5. When we use HAVE and HAVE GOT (= possess)
In all the examples below HAVE can be replaced by HAVE GOT in the present and
sometimes in the past. Short form with GOT ( I’ve got…) are much more common
than full form ( I have got… ) especially in speech.

2.3.2.2.2. The formation of HAVE (= possess) and HAVE (other meanings)
a, HAVE in the sense of “eat, enjoy, experience, drink, take…” is a dynamic verb
so it is concerned with actions ( have a walk) not states like HAVE in the sense of
POSSESS ( I have got a car ). Because of this, it can be used in the progressive
form of all tenses.
Compare:
I have (= I have got) a drink, thanks.
( It’s in my hand. - stative )
I’m having a drink.

(I’m drinking. - dynamic )
I have a drink every evening before dinner.
(= I drink. – dynamic )
HAVE GOT can never replace HAVE used as a dynamic verb
b, HAVE in the sense of TAKE ect is used like any other English verb. This means
that
- questions and negatives in the simple present and simple past must be formed
with do/does/did.
Do you have milk in your tea?
I don’t have milk in my tea.
Did you have a nice holiday?
I didn’t have a nice holiday.
Does he have drinks everyday?
Compare HAVE meaning POSSESS
Have you got any milk in your tea? (= Is there any milk in your tea?)
I haven’t got any milk in my tea. (= There isn’t any milk in my tea.)
`10

rare.

was none to be had. ( They were not available.)
c, There are no contracted form of HAVE (= take) as an ordinary verb in the simple
present and simple past.
I have a cold shower everymorning. (not I’ve)
Compare HAVE meaning “possess”
I have/I’ve/ I’ve got a new shower in my bathroom.

auxilary verb and main verb. For this reason, the present perfect and past perfect

The boy was delighted with his new bike. He had been dreaming of
one for a long time.
It was now six and he was tired because he had been working since
dawn.
f, Future perfect continuous tense
shall / will + have+ been + present participle
`15


This tense is formed with: will/shall have been + present participle for the first
persons and will have been + present participle for the other persons.
Like the future perfect, it is normally used with a time expression beginning with
BY. The future perfect continuous bears the same relationship to the future perfect
as the present perfect continuous bears to the present perfect.
By the end of this year, he’ll have been acting for thirty years.
By the end of the month, he’ll have trained 600 horses.
2. 4. VERIFYING THE SOLUTION OF THE STUDY

Although students got used to using the TO HAVE verb at lower secondary
school programs and many students could feel quite familiar with sort of this
exercise, the students are very confused when aggregated assignments involving in
the knowledge from this verb. One of the reason students feel difficul is that they
can not be able to systematize knowledge fully. I have conducted for the children to
do a synthesis exercise, and the results of their work are not good.
Results verified solutions that are implemented with 98 students at 2 classes of
11A1 and 11A3 at Ba Thuoc 3rd upper secondary school in the academic year :
2014- 2015 are following:
For the 1st results (when students are not fully systematized)
Class Number of Very
Moderately
Average
Weak
students
Good
good
11a1 50
0%
10%
48%
42%
11a3 48
0%
4%
40%
58%
However, by applying new approach, I acommodated the students with the
system which is quite adequate knowledge related to this verb and helped them to

understand and differentiate the usage of verbs, then I assigned similar tasks to
students , the results received were more positive.
For the 2nd results (after being provided full knowledge)
Class Number of Very
Moderately
Average
Weak
students
Good
good
11a1 50
16%
22%
50%
12%
11a3 48
6%
18%
58%
18%
Looking at the results of verification, we can see that after being provided a
complete knowledge system of the verb TO HAVE students can do more effectively

3. CONCLUSION.
In the process of teaching English at the upper secondary school level, I have
recognized that a lot of students can not easily understand and remember the
knowledge that teachers impart. When being asked for their ability to access
English at Ba Thuoc 3rd upper secondary school, even some good English students

at lower secondary school have supposed that mastering English knowledge at
higher levels becomes more and more difficult. As a teacher of English, I always
try to help students systematize a fairly full knowledge so that they can easily
remember, understand and review their lessons when necessary.
The TO HAVE verb is a very wide part of knowledge in English, and it is also
frequently used. In fact, few students can distinguish the usage of this verb.
Therefore, in this case study, I have tried to systematize a fairly complete its usage
(Specifically: The pronunciation of the HAVE verb in different cases; HAVE used
as verbs; HAVE used as auxiliary verbs). After applying this innovation in the
teaching, I see the effectiveness of students learning English improved markedly.
Previously, students only know the common usage of the TO HAVE verb,
sometimes confuse how to use this verb in various cases. However, they can be
able to grasp fully the relative usage, distinguish the difference and systematize the
knowledge to remember logically. Of course, knowledge is infinite and language
changes over time. Therefore, I am looking forward to the leadership equiping us
with equipment and materials to help us have better teaching conditions and
learning with high effectiveness . I really hope that my study can be useful
materials for students as well as references to some English teachers.
