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.
