"Haven ´t" or "Doesn ´t have"?

Hi everyone:

What ´s the best and most simple way to explain when we can use "haven ´t" or "doesn ´t have"? When is it wrong to use one of them? What ´s the difference between these two options?

Thanks Ladybird (ladybug)

I always wondered why on earth European teachers always seemed to teach the "have got" very early, "have" is much easier to use and understand. Now I know it ´s because this is the standard BE way of speaking.
