I have vs I have got

[pablo_ivher]

The question this time is, when do we use I have instead of I have got, I mean I can say I have got milk, and I have milk, what is the difference in the meaning of these sentences and how would you explain this when you are teaching it to speakers of other languages?

[pablo_ivher]

When do we use Have you some milk, and Have you got some milk? what is the use of got?? is it an auxiliary?

[Torsten]

Actually, there are at least three possible constructions here:

1) Have you got milk?
2) Do you have milk?
3) Have you milk?

The first phrase might be used more in British English while the second one could be more American. However, both phrases are acceptable and correct in British as well as in American English.
The third version is a short version of the first one.
