Constructions are formed as follows: modal verb + infinitive + particle to.

Unlike the verb must, which conveys an obligation due to an internal impulse to action, a construction with have to expresses a necessity due to some external circumstances. It is usually translated into Russian with the following words: must, had to, forced, etc.

She has to work a lot. - She has to work hard.

Set expressions with a verb

Set expressions are phrases that are perceived as a whole. Such constructions are not translated literally, but convey a single meaning. The following are a few topics in which there are many stable phrases with the verb has, have. The use of these turns is a common phenomenon in the English language.

Communication and relationships between people

daily activities

Relaxation and entertainment

Use of the verb have very versatile. This is one of the few verbs that can act as full-valued (that is, semantic), auxiliary or modal. In addition, in combination with some nouns, it forms stable expressions. To master this topic well, it is important to practice using verbs. has, have. The use of these words is simple and clear, but should be brought to automatism so that when speaking in English you do not have to think.

Verb have

It is the second most important verb (after the verb be). Its peculiarity is that, due to the frequency of its use, the forms of formation of the third person singular and the past tense have changed over time:

3rd person singular verb ha ve s deformed into a verb has

past tense verb ha ve d deformed into a verb had

Present tense of the verb have

Let's look at the forms of the verb have with personal pronouns:

I (you, we, they) have something.- I (you, we, they) have something He (she, it) has something.- He (she, it) has something.

As you can see, the verb have does not change in the plural, but the change occurs only in the third person singular, that is, after the personal pronouns he, she, it, or their corresponding nouns. Therefore, if you are in doubt in which person the verb should be put, look at the noun, and replace it with a suitable personal pronoun:

Mike and I have several logs.
- Me and Mike have several magazines ("Mike and I" - who are we?, so they correspond to the pronoun "we"). Mike has several logs.
- Mike has magazines ("Mike" - who is he?, therefore corresponds to the pronoun "he").

Verb have can be used both with auxiliary verbs do

So he himself performs the function of an auxiliary verb in negative and interrogative sentences. Let's see in which cases the verb follows do, and which do not:

without a verb do used in the old book style, as well as with single objects, actions or phenomena:

With a verb do used in modern language, especially when it comes to habitual actions, the constant presence of some object, phenomenon:

Statement:	You have a house.	-	You have a home.
Negation:	You do not have a house.	-	You don't have a home.
Question:	Do you have a house?	-	Do you have a home?

Look at the latest offers. They do not translate literally, but in a way that is more convenient for us to perceive. This is due to the optional observance of the order of the members of the sentence in Russian when compiling sentences. See more

Well, for yourself, it’s better to always use an auxiliary verb do, since even in British English you rarely see the construction of an interrogative or negative sentence, where the role of the auxiliary verb is played by have.

There are fixed expressions with have(has) in which the formation of interrogative and negative sentences without an auxiliary verb do unacceptable:

For example, consider two sentences:

Do they have tea?
- Do they drink tea? Have they tea?
- Do they have tea?

Looking at these two sentences, you can see how the meaning of the sentence changes dramatically when the auxiliary verb is used incorrectly.

Verb have has abbreviated forms together with personal pronouns:

"ve- with pronouns, except for pronouns of the third person singular. In this case, the combination of a pronoun with an abbreviated verb is read by adding the end of the sound [v] to the pronunciation of the pronoun, for example:

we"ve

"s- with pronouns of the third person singular. In this case, the combination of a pronoun with an abbreviated verb reads:

Notice the abbreviation "s- they also correspond to the contraction of the third person singular of the verb be. And you can understand which verb is possible only by context, for example:

He's clever.- He's smart ("s - the verb is translated "to eat", we can't translate I have smart). He's a car.- He has a car. (we cannot translate He is a machine).

As you can see, the context makes it clear which verb is in the sentence. But in more complex sentences, the difference may not be so obvious, then you need to look at what is being said in neighboring sentences.

There is also a negative shortened form with the verb have:

have not- haven"t ["hæv.ənt]

My parents haven't a car.

has not- hasn "t ["hæz.ənt]

The door hasn't a ring.

There is another turn have (has) got, which has the same meaning as the verb have, but is used in more informal spoken language in the present tense. Rarely used in the past and never in the future. Second part of turnover got

(past tense form of the verb get- get) does not carry a semantic load and is not translated into Russian (it is simply part of a compound predicate). When using have (has) got no need to use an auxiliary verb do:

Statement:	Pupils have got their notebooks.	-	The pupils have their notebooks.
Negation:	Pupils have not got their notebooks.	-	The pupils do not have their notebooks.
Question:	Have pupils got their notebooks?	-	Do the pupils have their notebooks?

has got

A driver hasn't got a key of the car.

Also often turnover have (has) got used in a sentence as an abbreviated form of a verb have. This is due to the difficulty of listening to the abbreviated form. And in Lately, in American English, have omitted from the sentence:

We("ve) got problems.

He("s) got a new pen.

Past tense with verb have

To form the past tense of a verb have its past tense form is used had

Which does not change either in persons or in numbers. When forming a sentence, the same rules are used as for the formation of the present tense:

Shortened form of the verb with personal pronouns - "d, and is pronounced together with the pronoun as an additional sound [d], for example pronoun they with reduction "d reads like this: they "d [ðeid]. They "d beautiful puppy.- They had a beautiful puppy.

Verb had has an abbreviated form when negated: hadn "t ["hæd.ənt]

The driver hadn't his own bus.

Future tense of the verb have

An auxiliary verb is used to form the future tense will

A verb have does not change forms regardless of person or number: My new car will have new wheels.- My car will have new wheels.
I will have my favorite music album.- I will have my favorite music album.

Interrogative and negative sentences:

You will not have this information before tomorrow.- You won't have that information until tomorrow.
Will she have clients next month?- Will she have clients next month?

Short answer to a question with a verb have

In Russian, we can answer a question with a short yes or no, but in English such an answer is considered not quite polite, and a combination of words is used to answer, depending on the context.

Short answer to a question with a verb have same as with the verb be contains negation or agreement, corresponding personal pronoun with verb have in the same form as a personal pronoun:

have you any trifle? - No, I have not (No, I haven"t) or Yes, I have

Has she an evening dress? - No, she has not (No, she has "t) or Yes, she has

Evening Dress

Had I overweight? - No, you had not (No, you hadn"t) or Yes, you had

In the future tense instead of a verb have the answer is an auxiliary verb will: Will they have a bank account? - No, they will not (No, they won't) or Yes, they will
Will they have a bank account? - No or yes.

Pay attention to questions and answers with personal pronouns I And you. They, as in Russian, should change places in meaning. And also in the question, instead of a personal pronoun, there can be a corresponding noun, and in the answer there is always a personal pronoun:

Have your friends any work? - No, they have not (No, they haven't) or Yes, they have

Modal verb have to

And another feature of the verb have that he is with a particle to forms a modal verb have to. This modal verb has the same meaning as the verb must, but in a less categorical form: it is necessary, must, should be done. And it changes over time.

The modal verb changes form in the third person singular - has to, in the past time - had to and future tense will have to. Let's look at examples of the use of a modal verb:

My dog has to go out for a walk every evening.

You have to go with us.

My uncle had to take me from a hospital.

We will have to pay for bills every month.

In the present and past tense, it can merge with the negative particle not, in which the letter o drops out, and an apostrophe is used instead.

NOTE:

British English is characterized by the formation of interrogative and negative forms with this verb without the auxiliary verb do, if single cases (actions) are meant, and with the help of the auxiliary verb do, if permanent possession (presence) is meant. At the same time, in the present tense, in the first case, in colloquial speech the construction with the verb is more often used get.

For example:

have you (got) time for a game of chess?
Do you (now) have time to play chess?

have you (got) any brothers?
Do you have brothers?

For American English and variants characteristic of other English-speaking countries, the use of forms with the auxiliary verb do is in all cases preferable.

For example, where an American might say: Can you help me now? Do you have time? the Englishman says: Can you help me now? Have you got time?

In cases where the verb have is used without the auxiliary verb do, the negative form is formed with it by negating not (in short form haven’t) or negation before a noun, which in this case used without an article.

have you (got) a sister? - Do You have a sister? -
no, I have not. No.
I have no sister. I have no sister.
