							| I ´ve got a cough! 
 |  
							| I�ve got a headache I�ve got a sore throat
 I�ve got a cough
What problems would students have in understanding these expressions!

							| The only thing I can notice is just that they could ommit the indefinite article. Another thing is that they should know first that "I �ve got" is almost the same as "I have". They should be aware of that. |  9 May 2013

							| To clarify yuyuio �s statement, it is a mistake to omit the indefinite article "a" in these sentences. She is right about using "I have" instead of "I �ve got"; they are interchangeable. In some ways it �s easier in English; you don �t have to worry about the case or gender of the noun or article. |  9 May 2013
