I've got a big family!

Do you know how to use have and have got?

We use I/you/we/they + have got or he/she/it + has got to talk about things that we have. In many situations, have and have got mean the same thing. Have got is a little less formal than have. We often use have got more in speaking and have more in writing. They have got a big garden. = They have a big garden. She has got a good job. = She has a good job.

We can use have/has got to talk about appearance, family and friends or possessions. We often contract the verb, especially when we're speaking. I have got brown hair. = I've got brown hair. My sister has got long hair. = My sister's got long hair. He has not got many friends. = He hasn't got many friends. They have got a new car. = They've got a new car.

We can also use have/has got for timetabled events, illnesses or abstract things. They've got basketball practice this evening. He's got a terrible cold. I've got a good idea!

Affirmative

Negative

For negatives, use not after have/has. We can contract negatives. We have not got any pets. = We haven't got any pets. She has not got a brother. = She hasn't got a brother.

Questions

To make questions, use have/has + subject + got. Have you got a big house? How many rooms has it got?

Short answers

For yes/no questions, we can use short answers. Have you got a new job? No, I haven't. Has she got a meeting this morning? Yes, she has.

Have/has got is only used in the present tense. For the past, use had without got. I had got a red bike when I was young. I had a red bike when I was young.
