She �s got beautiful eyes, hasn �t she? Yes, she has. No. she hasn �t. Yes, she has, hasn �t she? You wouldn �t use the �got � in the reply. I often think that �has got � is British and �does have � is American. She has b_ eyes, doesn �t she? Yes, she does. Yuck, I don �t like that - maybe because I �m British.  |

You �re right about the British/US thing here, Lynne, although many people in the US use "has got". In the US, it would generally be "She has beautiful eyes, doesn �t she?". Those who use "has got" would probably say, "She �s got beautiful eyes, doesn �t she?" (I know you �re cringing now, Lynne, maybe even running from your computer screaming). Also, in the US, those who use "has got" almost always use the contracted form of has/have, except when emphasizing the situation. They �ve got a new car. (Not "They have got a new car") She �s got beautiful eyes. He doesn �t have a lot of money, but he has got a gorgeous wife! (We don �t use "has/have got" in the negative here) Bruce |

Interesting, because here we use a mix of SAE and SBE. A good discussion here, (Lynne, keep those smelling salts nearby ) Cheers Jayho |

Bruce hit the nail on the head. Actually, I sometimes cringe when I hear people using "has got" in many situations (why use the extra word(s), "has" is enough). It makes me feel I �m falling back into some past, slightly post-Shakespearean, era. :) |
