Description

We use the verb HAVE to express possession.

Español

El verbo TENER se puede decir en inglés de 3 formas:
1- have (se usa mucho en inglés americano y en inglés británico escrito)
2- have got (se usa mucho en inglés británico hablado)
3- got (se usa sólo en el inglés coloquial, sobre todo en EEUU)

En el cuadro de texto tienes la conjugación de las tres formas.

El verbo GOT debes ser capaz de entenderlo pero no hace falta que aprendas a usarlo. Como se usa principalmente en EEUU, donde suena parecido a "gat". La frase "I got a book" (=tengo un libro) suena allí parecido a "ai gara buk" (en Inglaterra se usa menos y suena así como "ai gota buk" o "ai gora buk").
I got a book / I ain't got a book / you got a book?


El verbo HAVE es un verbo normal y por tanto utiliza el auxiliar DO para negar y preguntar. El verbo HAVE GOT es un verbo especial, y por tanto no usa el DO para nada, todo lo hace solito, así que niega solo y hace la inversión de las preguntas solo (la partícula "got" no varía ni se mueve).

yo tengo un libro = I have a book / I've got a book
yo no tengo un libro = I don't have a book / I haven't got a book
¿tienes un libro? = do you have a book? / have you got a book?
