Have vs Have got

I’m struggling now with β€œhave got”, like: β€œHave you got a dog?” and β€œto have”, like here: β€œDo you have a dog?” If you’ve got (or just β€œhave;) any suggestions about it, that would be very helpful πŸ™‚

They are two different structures and both are correct:

  • Β  Have you got…?
  • Do you have…?
  • Β  I have got…
  • Β  I have…
  • I haven’t got…
  • Β  I don’t have…

The difference:

β€˜HAVE GOT’ is more common in the UK than in the US and is NOT used in formal writing.
