hi
i wonder when do we say(have )or (have got)
and the same of course for (has) or (has got)
is the only difference in their tenses:
have (is present simple tense)
have got (is present perfect)
thanks

very easy - we tend to use have got when speaking as it is more informal than have.

I �m not a native speaker, so I may be wrong, but I usually teach my students what follows: Have/Has got= 1- possession (I �ve got a new car), 2 - family ties (I �ve got a very old aunt), 3- illness (I �ve got a terrible headache), 3- physical description (I �ve got dark hair) Questions: have you got a brother? Negative form= I haven �t got a brother Have/has=1- possession, exactly like have got, 2- phrases like have a shower, have a word, have breakfast and so on. Questions= Do you have a new cd-player? Do you have a shower every day? Negative form= I don �t have a new car. I don �t have a shower every day Hope it �s clear.  Chiara |

Yes, I �d agree with Dawn. In UK English, �have got � (present tense, meaning �possess �) is standard in speech or prose representing speech. Some (North) Americans seem to have a problem with it - perhaps because of the distinction between the past participles �got � and �gotten � (possess and obtain).
Chiara, I think you have to distinguish between �have � as stative (I have a new cd player) and �have � as dynamic (I have a shower every day).

Almaz, yes, of course Have can be stative or dynamic, I thought it was understood in my message! Have a nice evening! Chiara |
