now that you know how to use have you
might be wondering what the difference
is between have have got and got
god is the past tense form of git which
we learned before it means to receive
something so it's different from have
and have got
have and have god have the same meaning
except have got is more informal
we mostly use have got when we talk
about possession relationships
characteristics and illnesses
for instance
he has got a girlfriend
it's natural to make a contraction with
the subject and have when we use have
got
for have we add an apostrophe and ve to
the subject for instance
i have got becomes i've got
for has we add an apostrophe and s to
the subject
she has got becomes she's got
let's practice changing these more
formal sentences with have to more
casual sentences with have got remember
that making a contraction with the
subject and have is most natural

right
she has got an excellent singing voice
she's got an excellent singing voice
