Exercises on the verb to have and the verb have got

After studying the have got table and finding out when the have got construction is used, it's time to take an online test.

Verb have

It is the second most important verb (after the verb be). Its peculiarity is that, due to the frequency of its use, the forms of formation of the third person have changed over time. singular and past tense:

3rd person singular verb ha ve s deformed into a verb has

past tense verb ha ve d deformed into a verb had

Present tense of the verb have

Let's look at the forms of the verb have with personal pronouns:

I (you, we, they) have something.- I (you, we, they) have something He (she, it) has something.- He (she, it) has something.

As you can see, the verb have does not change during plural, but the change occurs only in the third person singular, that is, after the personal pronouns he, she, it, or their corresponding nouns. Therefore, if you are in doubt in which person the verb should be put, look at the noun, and replace it with a suitable personal pronoun:

Mike and I have several logs.
- Me and Mike have several magazines ("Mike and I" - who are we?, so they correspond to the pronoun "we"). Mike has several logs.
- Mike has magazines ("Mike" - who is he?, therefore corresponds to the pronoun "he").

Verb have can be used both with auxiliary verbs do

So do the function itself auxiliary verb in negative and interrogative sentences. Let's see in which cases the verb follows do, and which do not:

without a verb do used in the old book style, as well as with single objects, actions or phenomena:

With a verb do is used in modern language, especially when it comes to habitual actions, the constant presence of some object, phenomenon:

Statement:	You have a house.	-	You have a home.
Negation:	You do not have a house.	-	You don't have a home.
Question:	Do you have a house?	-	Do you have a home?

Look at the latest offers. They do not translate literally, but in a way that is more convenient for us to perceive. This is due to the optional observance of the order of the members of the sentence in Russian when compiling sentences. See more

Well, for yourself, it’s better to always use an auxiliary verb do, since even in British English you rarely see the construction of an interrogative or negative sentence, where the role of the auxiliary verb is played by have.

There is set expressions from have(has) in which the formation of interrogative and negative sentences without an auxiliary verb do unacceptable:

For example, consider two sentences:

Do they have tea?
- Do they drink tea? Have they tea?
- Do they have tea?

Looking at these two sentences, you can see how the meaning of the sentence changes dramatically when the auxiliary verb is used incorrectly.

Verb have has abbreviated forms together with personal pronouns:

"ve- with pronouns, except for pronouns of the third person singular. In this case, the combination of a pronoun with an abbreviated verb is read by adding the end of the sound [v] to the pronunciation of the pronoun, for example:

we"ve

"s- with pronouns of the third person singular. In this case, the combination of a pronoun with an abbreviated verb reads:

Notice the abbreviation "s- they also correspond to the contraction of the third person singular of the verb be. And you can understand which verb is possible only by context, for example:

He's clever.- He's smart ("s - the verb is translated "to eat", we can't translate I have smart). He's a car.- He has a car. (we cannot translate He is a machine).

As you can see, the context makes it clear which verb is in the sentence. But in more complex sentences the difference may not be so obvious, then you need to look at what is being said in neighboring sentences.

There is also a negative shortened form with the verb have:

have not- haven"t ["hæv.ənt]

My parents haven't a car.

has not- hasn "t ["hæz.ənt]

The door hasn't a ring.

There is another turn have (has) got, which has the same meaning as the verb have, but is used in more informal spoken language in the present tense. Rarely used in the past and never in the future. Second part of turnover got

(past tense form of the verb get- get) does not carry a semantic load and is not translated into Russian (it is just a part of compound predicate). When using have (has) got no need to use an auxiliary verb do:

Statement:	Pupils have got their notebooks.	-	The pupils have their notebooks.
Negation:	Pupils have not got their notebooks.	-	The pupils do not have their notebooks.
Question:	Have pupils got their notebooks?	-	Do the pupils have their notebooks?

has got

A driver hasn't got a key of the car.

Also often turnover have (has) got used in a sentence as an abbreviated form of a verb have. This is due to the difficulty of listening to the abbreviated form. And in Lately, in American English, have omitted from the sentence:

We("ve) got problems.

He("s) got a new pen.

Past tense with verb have

To form the past tense of a verb have its past tense form is used had

Which does not change either in persons or in numbers. When forming a sentence, the same rules are used as for the formation of the present tense:

Shortened form of the verb with personal pronouns - "d, and is pronounced together with the pronoun as an additional sound [d], for example pronoun they with reduction "d reads like this: they "d [ðeid]. They "d beautiful puppy.- They had a beautiful puppy.

Verb had has an abbreviated form when negated: hadn "t ["hæd.ənt]

The driver hadn't his own bus.

Future tense of the verb have

An auxiliary verb is used to form the future tense will

A verb have does not change forms regardless of person or number: My new car will have new wheels.- My car will have new wheels.
I will have my favorite music album.- I will have my favorite music album.

Interrogative and negative sentences:

You will not have this information before tomorrow.- You won't have that information until tomorrow.
Will she have clients next month?- Will she have clients next month?

Short answer to a question with a verb have

In Russian, we can answer a question with a short yes or no, but in English such an answer is considered not quite polite, and a combination of words is used to answer, depending on the context.

Short answer to a question with a verb have same as with the verb be contains negation or agreement, corresponding personal pronoun with verb have in the same form as a personal pronoun:

Have you any trifle? - No, I have not (No, I haven"t) or Yes, I have

Has she an evening dress? - No, she has not (No, she has "t) or Yes, she has

Evening Dress

Had I overweight? - No, you had not (No, you hadn"t) or Yes, you had

In the future tense instead of a verb have the answer is an auxiliary verb will: Will they have a bank account? - No, they will not (No, they won't) or Yes, they will
Will they have a bank account? - No or yes.

Pay attention to questions and answers with personal pronouns I And you. They, as in Russian, should change places in meaning. And also in the question, instead of a personal pronoun, there can be a corresponding noun, and in the answer there is always a personal pronoun:

Have your friends any work? - No, they have not (No, they haven't) or Yes, they have

Modal verb have to

And another feature of the verb have that he is with a particle to forms a modal verb have to. This modal verb has the same meaning as the verb must, but in a less categorical form: it is necessary, must, should be done. And it changes over time.

The modal verb changes form in the third person singular - has to, in the past time - had to and future tense will have to. Let's look at examples of the use of a modal verb:

My dog has to go out for a walk every evening.

You have to go with us.

My uncle had to take me from a hospital.

We will have to pay for bills every month.

In the present and past tense, it can merge with the negative particle not, in which the letter o drops out, and an apostrophe is used instead.

NOTE:

British English is characterized by the formation of interrogative and negative forms with this verb without the auxiliary verb do, if single cases (actions) are meant, and with the help of the auxiliary verb do, if permanent possession (presence) is meant. At the same time, in the present tense in the first case, in colloquial speech, the construction with the verb is more often used get.

Do you (now) have time to play chess?

Have you (got) any brothers?

For example, where an American might say: Can you help me now? Do you have time? the Englishman says: Can you help me now? Have you got time?

Verb " to have"(own) in English is used in quite different situations and can be translated into Russian in different ways. In this article you will learn the main situations when this verb is used. You will also learn about the verb " have got", which also means "to own".

verb to have

To have - the main verb used to indicate ownership (property) of something (not only material), the properties of something (or its characteristics), kinship or connection, for example, the quality of one thing in relation to another:

I have a cat. → U Eat me cat.
I have a lot of free time these days. → Now at Eat me) a lot of free time.

She has fair hair. → She has blonde hair.

Verb " to have" is also used to refer to a large number of actions, here are some of them (the main thing is to understand the meaning, not to be scared and think "how to translate this"):

have a bath, wash, shower, etc → take a bath (lie in it), do laundry, take a shower (under running water), etc.
have → have breakfast, lunch, dinner.

have fun → have fun, "have fun".
have time available → have time for something.

have questions → have a question.

Examples:

Used as . It is easy to identify by the design " have to". Here he expresses the requirement to perform (yet) some routine action (but not always). Often it is used by native speakers, as an action that carries responsibility, duty .

This form " have" also has a similar meaning to modal verb "must"- in a conversation about duties, native speakers prefer to use it (for example: I must talk to Peter. It’s important). "

Verb " must"used when they want to say about very serious for the speaker(or if it is customary to consider them as such) duties (for example: I must feed my family).

A few examples:

They have to work hard on Saturdays (routine for them). → On Saturdays they should Hard to work.
I have to return books to the school library. → I must return books to the school library.

I must be rich (very important for the speaker). → I must to be rich.
I must defend my homeland. → I must defend your homeland.

verb have got

verb "have got" more characteristic of British English. It also serves to indicate the possession (property) of something (not only material), the property of something (or its characteristics), kinship or connection. For example:

He has got some friends in London. → He has some friends in London

Anna has got three sisters. → Anna has three sisters.

I have got a new car. → I have new car.

Americans also sometimes use " have got"but more often" got" or simply " (to) have" (consider it analogous/synonymous - it's easier that way).

I had a copy of that book. (). → I had copy of that book.

I have got a copy of that book. (). → I have copy of that book.

The penultimate significant difference is the reduction. Verb " have" has no abbreviations, for example, you cannot say "I've a red bicycle" only "I have a red bicycle". have got"on the contrary, has abbreviations (in affirmation and negation):

I' ve got a red bicycle (I have got a red bicycle). → I have Red bicycle.

She hasn't got a dog (she has not got a dog). → She has no dog.

And the last main difference, where confusion often arises, is the negative and interrogative constructions of these two verbs.

You can see these differences in the picture below. I'll just say " have got" does not need help (in this case, "do", because I remind you that "have got" is used in the present simple (Present Simple))

Verb to have- to have, is the second most important in English, and second only to the verb to be. The fact is that the British and Americans say the word " have"much more often than Russians say the word "have".

For example, we say in Russian:

I have a car.

And in English they say:

I have a car. - I have a car.

Thus, when we want to say that somewhere, there is something, we use the verb to be.

There is a picture on the wall. - There is a picture on the wall.

And when we want to say that someone has something, we say "he has" - "he has"

He has a picture- He has a picture.

In the present tense, the verb "to have" - to have, has the following forms:

In the first person and in the plural they say "have", and in the third person singular "has". As you can see, the verb has only two forms "to have" in present time: have And has. We say: I have - I have , translate: I have.

In colloquial speech in place have often say have got, literally got it, got it, started it. That is, instead of I have, they say: I have got. Instead of has they say has got. That is, instead of he has, they say: he has got. Moreover, in fluent speech from the word have only sound remains "ve, but from the word has one sound "s.

I've got
He's got
She's got

I have a question. - I "ve got a question.- I have a question.
You have a car - You "ve got a car- Do you have a car.
He has a hundred rubles - He "s got a hundred rubles- He has 100 rubles.
She has a lot of friends - She "s got a lot of friends- She has a lot of friends.
We have little time- We have little time.
You have a lot of money- We have little time.

If something is missing, then put no before the noun.

We have no money - We have not got any money- We do not have money.
They have no questions- They don't have any questions.
You have no computer - You have not got a computer- You don't have a computer.
He has no friends- He has no friends.

If we want to formulate a question, with the verb have, then it is not always possible to simply put it before the subject, in the first place, as we did with the verb to be. The point is that the verb to be strong verb, he himself can formulate a question. A verb to have weakened over the last century, if earlier one could ask like this: Have you a car?, now the verb have needs a helper, auxiliary verb do and this question is formulated:

Do you have a car?- Do you have a car?

To do without an auxiliary verb, it is better to ask a question in the form have got, in this case you can verb have put before the subject and ask:

Have you got a car?- Do you have a car?
Has she got a computer?- Does she have a computer?
Have you got a ticket?- Do you have a ticket?
Have they got any children?- They have children?

Before a plural noun or before an uncountable noun any- how much.

Have you got any time?- Do you have time? (any time)

This general issues to which they answer yes or no. If you need to ask a specific question, then start with a question word.

What have I got here?- What do I have here?
What car has he got?- What kind of car does he have?
How much time have you got?- How much time do you have?

How much? How much, they ask uncountable nouns: time, water and the like, they are not counted as pieces and do not have a plural form at all.

How many?- Ask about what can be counted.
