question English réponse English
We often use have got rather than have alone. So you can say:
commencer à apprendre
We’ve got a new car. Or We have a new car. Ann has got two sisters. Or Ann has two sisters.
We use have got or have for illnesses, pains etc.:
commencer à apprendre
I’ve got a headache. Or I have a headache.
In questions and negative sentences
commencer à apprendre
there are three possible forms.
Have you got any money?
commencer à apprendre

When have means ‘possess’ etc., you cannot use continuous forms (is having/are having etc.):
commencer à apprendre
I have/I’ve got a headache. (not ‘I’m having’)
For the past we use had (usually without ‘got’):
commencer à apprendre

In past questions and negative sentences we normally use did/didn’t:
commencer à apprendre
Did they have a car when they were living in London? I didn’t have a watch, so I didn’t know the time.
