31 THE VERB HAVE
A Have and have got
Look at these examples.
HAVE
We have three cats.
Emma has toothache.
Daniel doesn't have a car.
Do you have the address? ~ Yes, I do.
HAVE GOT
We've got three cats.
Vicky has got blue eyes.
I haven't got any money.
Have you got a ticket? ~ No, I haven't.
Here have and have got mean the same thing. We can normally use either
form. But have got is more
informal. Note that we do not use have got in short answers (No, / haven't.).
B Forms
NEGATIVE
QUESTION
PRESENT TENSE

have I/you/we/they got? has he/she/it got?
I/you/he/she/it/we/they had
I/you/he/she/it/we/they didn't have did
I/you/he/she/it/we/they have?
We do not often use had got in the past tense.
Tom had several jobs to do. We didn't have time to stop.
C The action verb have
Why did you have that funny hat on?
Here are some examples of have as an action verb.
Mark has lunch around one. I have a shower every morning.
The children had a game of cards. We had a wonderful holiday.
Have expresses an action. Mark has lunch means that he eats lunch.
With the action verb have we cannot use got and we cannot use a short
form.
NOT Mark-has--got lunch-around-one and NOT I've a shower every
morning.
The action verb have can also be continuous.
Mark is having lunch now. We were having a conversation in English.
What time are you having your driving lesson?
In negatives and questions in simple tenses, we use a form of do. We didn't
have a very good time. We don't have parties very often. Where do you
have lunch? How often does Vicky have strange dreams?
In English we often use expressions like have a talk instead of a verb like
talk. Here are some examples,
Shall we have a swim? 1 usually have a rest in the afternoon. I had a talk
with Daniel. Trevor
and Laura are having an argument.
