Глагол to have выражает значения иметь, обладать, владеть
Примеры: I have a good watch. He had a large library. We shall soon have a new TV set. She always has a lot of work to do.
Если речь идет о постоянном наличии какого-либо предмета, явления или состояния, то вопросительная и отрицательная формы глагола to have образуются при помощи вспомогательного глагола to do: Do you have a large library? - No, I do not have a large library. Does she always have much work to do? - She does not always have much work to do.
Если речь идет о единичном, конкретном случае наличие данного предмета, явления или состояния, то вопросительная, отрицательная формы глагола to have образуются постановкой глагола have в соответствующей форме перед подлежащим. Have you time for a game of football? I haven’t my watch with me today.
Однако чаще для выражения этого значения употребляется оборот have (has) got. Глагол to have употребляется в сочетании с некоторыми существительными, утрачивая свое основное значение иметь, обладать и образуя с ними смысловое целое. К таким сочетаниям относятся:
В этих случаях вопросительная и отрицательная форма глагола to have в Present и Past Indefinite образуется при помощи вспомогательного глагола to do: When do you have dinner? Did you have a good rest last summer? We didn’t have supper at home yesterday.
Отрицательное предложение с глаголом to have может быть образовано при помощи отрицательного местоимения no - никакой, которое ставится чаще всего перед неисчисляемым существительным. В этом случае глагол to have стоит в утвердительной форме. Why didn’t you do it. I had no time.
2. В разговорной речи для выражения значения иметь, обладать в настоящем времени употребляется оборот have (has) got, который переводится на русский язык у меня (у него и т.д.) есть. I have got (I’ve got) a large library. He has got (he’s got) a good dictionary. They’ve got a lot of English textbooks.
Note: Оборот have (has) got употребляется только в настоящем времени.
Когда дополнение выражено личным местоимением, то в отрицательном предложении всегда употребляется:
Вопросительная форма оборота have (has)got образуется путем постановки глагола have (has) перед подлежащим: Has he got a good dictionary? Have you got time for a game of football? Have they got a large library? Has she got a nice flat?
Отрицательная форма оборота have (has) got образуется при помощи отрицательной частицы, которая ставится после глагола have (has): I have not (I haven’t got) a good friend. He hasn’t got a good dictionary. I haven’t got my watch with me today. She hasn’t got much work to do today.
