EGrammar Unit 16 - Have and have got

英語学習 はてなDUO

We can use "have got" rather than "have" alone. "Have" and "have got" means possess, own, etc.
多くの場合、haveを単体で使うよりも、have gotの形を使います。have gotは現在完了形では無いことに、注意。

  • We have a new car.
  • We have got a new car.
  • Nancy has two sisters.
  • Nancy has got two sisters.
  • I have a headache.
  • I've got a headache.
  • Do you have an money?
  • Have you got any money?
  • I don't have any money.
  • I haven't got any money.

For the past we use "had" (without got).
過去形ではhadだけを使います。had gotは使いません。

  • Ann had long blond hair when she was a child.
  • Did they have a car?

haveが他の意味で用いられるような場合、have gotは使われません。
Ex)have...

  • breakfast / dinner / a cup of coffee / something to dring
  • a party / a safe trip / a good flight
  • an accident / an experience / a dream
  • a look (at something)
  • a baby (= give birth to a baby) / an operation
  • difficulty / trouble / fun / a nice time
