Have, Haven’t, Has, Have Got, Haven’t Got

Habits and Routines

Grammar Practice

The expressions have, have not / haven’t, have got, and haven’t got are often used in English to talk about possession, and sometimes also about habits or routines in fixed expressions.

Have
We use have very often in English.
Example: I have a car.
[Ich habe ein Auto.]

Have not / haven’t
This is the negative form.
Example: I haven’t got much time.
[Ich habe nicht viel Zeit.]

Have got
This is very common in informal British English and often means the same as have for possession.
Example: I have got a car.
[Ich habe ein Auto.]

Haven’t got
This is the negative form of have got.
Example: I haven’t got any money.
[Ich habe kein Geld.]

Important:
Do not use structures like have got + verb in perfect forms.
Not correct: I have got made
Correct: I have made
[Ich habe gemacht.]

In many of the exercises below, both forms are possible in natural English. However, where both are possible, have often sounds a little more natural in this kind of sentence.
