) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) )
Grammar explanation
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.
Example :
1. They have got a big garden. = They have a big garden.
2. 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.
Example :
1. I have got brown hair. = I've got brown hair.
2. My sister has got long hair. = My sister's got long hair.
3. He has not got many friends. = He hasn't got many friends
4. They have got a new car. = They've got a new car.
