To Have

 

Compare these two sentences: “I have a new car”. “I have got a new car” Do they have the same meaning? Image in: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0037382/ Yes, they do. Both have and have got can be used to express possession, but have got is considered to be more colloquial than have, and in more informal contexts, speakers even tend to drop have: I’ve got a problem (informal) I got a problem (very informal) The only difference between them comes when we use negative or interrogative forms, because in sentence 2 have is an auxiliary verb, whereas in 1 it needs the auxiliary do in order to form interrogative or negative sentences: “Do you have a new car?” “I don’t have a new car”. “Have you got a new car?” “I haven’t got a new car”.
