Structural Vocabulary ( hot verbs )
A ) The Verb ( to have )
It has different uses and meanings : A) Main Verb :
- to possess : We us the full form of ( have ) not the contracted form ( I've ) when it is used as a main verb. --- I have a new car --- She has six children --- I have a suggestion --- He had a severe headache --- I have something to tell you --- I have a dish of Pizza at lunch. We can add the word (get ) without changing the meaning. In this case , it's better to use the contracted form : ( I've got an idea. -- He's got cold ) Or ( I have an idea --- He has a cold )
- ( have to ) used to indicate external obligation. It's a main verb here , so we use the full form. --- I have to go now. --- --- He has to accept the job. --- You have to see a doctor. --- She had to work hard. Note : - We can also use the work ( get ) with these examples without changing the meaning. so it's better to use the contraction. --- He has to resign or ---- He's got to resign. --- I have to see a doctor or ---- I've got to see a doctor.
- to eat , drink , take , etc. – In this meaning we use the full form because it a main verb.
---- We had dinner with our teachers. ---- She has a cup of coffee every morning. ---- Let's have a break for lunch. ---- Have a seat please. With these examples we cannot use ( get ). It's only used when ( have ) is used to indicate possession or obligation.
- Causative ( have ) – causing an action to take place. We use the full , not the contract form. There are two possibilities , active or passive. a) Active : to have someone to do something. --- I have my secretary do my work in my vacation. b) Passive : to have something done. --- He had a carpenter mend his office table. --- He has a barber cut his hair. or --- He has his hair cut. Note : We cannot add the work ( got ) in this context , but we can use the verb ( to get ) instead of ( to have ) to express the same idea.. Examples :--- I will have a copy sent to you. ---- I will get a copy sent to you.
---- I will have a gardener cut the grass. ---- I will get the grass cut.
- As an auxiliary verb for perfect tenses ( present – past – future ) ,in this case we use contracted form in spoken English and full form in written English. Examples :--- we have ( we've ) started work. --- He has ( he's ) gone out.
--- I have (I've ) been waiting for an hour. --- They had visited the Statue of Liberty before they left New York. Note :- Formulation of negatives and questions in the present and past
---- They had not ( hadn't ) seen it before. ---- Had they seen it before? So here are 18 expressions with the word (have) and whether or not you can use having or have got.
