00:00So, we can use have got to talk about possessions, which are things that belong to us, relationships, body parts,
00:11and illnesses.
00:12We say, I have got, you have got, or I've got, you've got.
00:22He has got, she has got, it has got.
00:26Or, he's got, she's got, it's got.
00:31We have got, they have got, or we've got, they've got.
00:38For example, he's got brown eyes.
00:42He's got a beard.
00:45He's got short hair.
00:47And in the negative form, we say, he hasn't got blue eyes.
00:54It's very important to note that have got and has got can only be used in the present simple tense.
01:03For example, we say, Kate's got gray hair.
01:08Or, Kate has gray hair.
01:12Both of these sentences are talking about the present right now.
01:17And we are using the present simple tense.
01:21Kate's got gray hair.
01:23And Kate has gray hair.
01:25They both mean the same thing.
01:28Has got and has is the same when we are talking about possessions, belongings, body parts, illnesses, and relationships.
01:38But in the past, you could not say Kate had got red hair when she was younger.
01:46That is incorrect.
01:48You have to say Kate had red hair.
01:54So, we only use have got or has got in the present simple tense.
02:01Okay, so let's look at some more examples in the affirmative form.
02:05Again, we use have got or has got to talk about possessions.
02:10I've got a gaming laptop.
02:13I've got an expensive phone.
02:16Family or relationships.
02:18You've got amazing friends.
02:21She's got three kids.
02:24Illnesses or sicknesses.
02:27I've got a fever.
02:29Tony's got a sore throat.
02:32Body parts.
02:33They've got green eyes.
02:36He's got curly black hair.
02:40So, now let's talk about how to make the affirmative, negative, and interrogative forms.
02:47So, the affirmative form, I've got or you've got.
02:52But the negative form is I haven't got.
02:57You haven't got.
03:00He's got.
03:01She's got.
03:03It's got.
03:04He hasn't got.
03:06She hasn't got.
03:08It hasn't got.
03:10We've got.
03:11They've got.
03:12We haven't got.
03:14They haven't got.
03:16And if we want to make questions, have I got, have you got, has he got, has she got, has
03:25it got, have we got, have they got?
03:28So, let's look at some examples.
03:31They've got two children.
03:34They haven't got a dog.
03:36The mom's got brown hair.
03:39She hasn't got red hair.
03:43Have they got a cat?
03:46Yes, they have.
03:48And if I asked the question, have they got a dog?
03:52We say, no, they haven't.
03:56So, what's the difference between have and have got?
04:00Well, have is more typical to use in Canada and the United States.
04:07And have got is more typical to use in the UK.
04:11Now, make sure you do not confuse have and have got when you are forming sentences.
04:19So, let's compare the differences between have and have got with these example sentences.
04:25I have a fever or I've got a fever.
04:30Both of these are correct.
04:33However, you could not say, I've a fever.
04:38I've is not correct by itself.
04:42In this context, you have to say, I have a fever or I've got a fever.
04:49But not, I've a fever.
04:53She has a beautiful smile.
04:55She's got a beautiful smile.
04:59Again, you can't say, she's a beautiful smile.
05:05You have to say, she has a beautiful smile or she's got a beautiful smile.
05:19Some people make the mistake and say, you don't have got.
05:26And that's incorrect.
05:28You don't have or you haven't got.
05:32Do they have a big family?
05:35Yes, they do.
05:37Have they got a big family?
05:40Yes, they have.
05:42So, just keep in mind, if you're saying have alone, use do or don't.
05:49And if you are using have got, use have got, has got or haven't got or hasn't got.
05:59Okay, so now it's time to do some practice.
