Iโm struggling now with โhave gotโ, like: โHave you got a dog?โ and โto haveโ, like here: โDo you have a dog?โ If youโve got (or just โhave;) any suggestions about it, that would be very helpful ๐
They are two different structures and both are correct:
- ย Have you gotโฆ?
- Do you haveโฆ?
- ย I have gotโฆ
- ย I haveโฆ
- I havenโt gotโฆ
- ย I donโt haveโฆ
The difference:
โHAVE GOTโ is more common in the UK than in the US and is NOT used in formal writing.
โHAVE GOTโ is only used in Present Tense.
โHAVEโ is used in every tense:
Past: I had
Future: I will have/ Iโm going to have
Present Perfect: I have had
Modals: I should have/ I must have
etc.
