Speaking: Grammar in Speaking A1 - Lesson 2: Using "have got" for Possession

Speaking Grammar A1

🎒

Using "Have got"

ការប្រាប់ពីភាពជាម្ចាស់ ឬកម្មសិទ្ធិ

In spoken English, we often say have got or has got instead of just "have" to talk about things we own, our family, or characteristics.

ក្នុងការនិយាយភាសាអង់គ្លេស យើងនិយមប្រើពាក្យ "have got" ឬ "has got" ជំនួសឱ្យ "have" ដើម្បីនិយាយអំពីរបស់ដែលយើងមាន គ្រួសារ ឬលក្ខណៈសម្បត្តិ។

She has got ➔ She's got នាងមាន

We have got ➔ We've got ពួកយើងមាន

Hi Sokha! They mean the exact same thing! "I have a pen" is more formal and common in writing (especially American English). "I have got a pen" is very common in informal speaking (especially British English). Both are correct! 🌟

No, Mony! We only use "have got" for possession (things you own), relationships, or illness. We do NOT use it for actions or routines. So you must say: "I have a shower every morning." 🚿
