    HAVE GOT
    HAS GOT
    Why do we use HAVE GOT?

    The “HAVE GOT” has three different forms of use. However, we’re seeing
    it as:

    1. To describe people

    2. As a replacement of the verb “Have”


    Rule #1

    You always use “HAVE


    GOT” in Present
    Simple Tense.
    Rule #2

    Most of the times, the


    “have got” is going to
    be abbreviated.
    Grammar
    Affirmative
    Subject + have / has got + Comp.

    I have got long legs.

    I’ve got long legs.

    He has got long legs.

    He’s got long legs.


    Affirmative

    Subject + have / has got + Comp.

    I haven’t got time.
    You haven’t got time.
    He / she hasn’t got time.
    We haven’t got time.

    EXAMPLES

    I don’t haven’t got time I haven’t got time
    Interrogatives

    We use the “have / has” as an auxiliar.

    I have got = Have I got…?

    You have got = Have you got…?

    He / she has got = Has she / he got…?

    We have got = Have we got…?
