Have you got...? vs Do you have...?
 
Hello!

Can anyone tell me what �s the difference between making a question with "Have you got...?" and "Do you have...?"? 

For example, would you say:

"Have you got a dog?" or "Do you have a dog?" 

And why? I think they are both correct, but I really don �t know the difference and which one is more "correct" to teach to students.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hugs,
Patricia

The difference is that one (have got/ has got) is British English while  Do you have .... is American English.    Both are correct!

This really annoys me because it �s confusing for beginners. �Have/has got � is so much better! Wink
