Difference between 'have' and 'have got' and 'has' and 'has got'?

[Kiki]

Would you explain for me clearly about what is the difference between Have and have got and has and has got.

Are they same?

I have one brother and one sister.

Sometimes i find a sentence use have got to show the possesive " i have got one brother and one sister"

She has a good dress.

Sometimes i find a sentence use has got to show the possesive " She has got a good dress.

And from the words have got and has got to show the possesive, How to change the sentence into interrogative and negative sentence.

Please tell me, i really appreciate if you want to help me. Thank you

Have got and have (for possession, relationships, illnesses etc.)

In this case there is no difference in meaning.

They've got a new car. or They have a new car.
Lisa has got two brothers. or Lisa has two brothers.
I've got a headache. or I have a headache.

-1st Difference-
*For past you have to use had (without got)
Lisa had long hair. (not Lisa had got long hair.)

------------------------------------------------------------
Questions and Negative Sentences

Have you got any questions? - I haven't got any questions.
Do you have any questions? - I don't have any questions.
Have you any quentions? (less usual) - I haven't any questions. (less usual)

-2nd Difference-
*As you can see grammatically all of them correct but using just have is not common.

------------------------------------------------------------
-3rd Difference-
Have is used for many actions and experiences (but not have got)

breakfast/a cup of tea/dinner/a party/a shower/an accident/a discussion/difficulty/etc.

*Sometimes I have (=eat) a sandwich for my lunch. (not I've got)
The meaning of have represents action of eating that is why you have to use just have.

*I had (=experience) difficulty finding a place to live.
The meaning of had is experience difficulty doing something so, you have to use just have.

Kiki, please note that Airerdem's explanation relates only to American teachings.

Have and got can be used together in some cases, but usually have alone will serve the purpose better, and also sound a lot better.

" I have a new car."
" I have got a new car."
But never, " I got a new car."

" Have " and " got " both state possession. Why say it twice, unless the sentence needs it?

Good morning ESL, you would certainly get strange looks if you were to say, " I got a new car " in England, no matter what you think.

Grammar books are educational, as no-one would deny, but in the "real world" lots of things are said quite differently.

Please don't let this difference of opinion escalate into a war of words. It is only my opinion based on my having been born, and living the whole of my life, in England.

Hi,

'I got a new car' on its own sounds to me rather like baby talk. On the other hand 'I got a new car yesterday' is fine and dandy.

Baby talk, eh? Alan, surely you are not saying that in order to use the simple past tense, you believe it is always necessary to include a reference to a specific past time in the same sentence.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with any of the following sentences:

- He lost his marbles.
- He has lost his marbles.
- He lost his new marbles.
- He has lost his new marbles.

The broader context will have an impact on whether the past simple or the present perfect would be preferable. In addition, although the inclusion or omission of the word "new" may well have a significant impact on the meaning of this sentence, it does not dictate the verb tense. The use of the word "new" is not restricted to any particular verb tense.

ESL, that wasn't the phrase in question though.

" I got a car " would never be said without, as Alan says, a reference to a following time period.

" I got a new car last week."

You can quote me on anything you wish ESL.

You can also quote me as saying that "got" is about the most unnecessary word in the English language.

:) Good afternoon Andrea. No, just good-natured banter. ESL Expert is trying to prove a point, but he's like a dog with a bone, he won't give it up.

I wonder why there are no " Learn to speak English " forums in America. :lol: :lol:

ps. If he starts quoting Raymond Murphy passages to me, then I'm going to thump him

Well, I live under the impression that you are doing just the same.
