the third one should be "Does he have a car?"

Which is more appropriate for the British speakers to use because we in India use the British English.

Has he got a car? is commonly used in Britain. Have got is often used for some expression like I �ve got married. |

Has he got a car?
I prefer that one because it sounds more British, the third sentence is American English and it �s does he have?
take care

Hi all,
Only the sentence "Has he got a car?", is correct. The remaining 2 are not grammatically correct.

ALL of them are correct... Though "Has he a car?" .. is a bit strange sounding to most people but it is also quite correct. You don �t actually need the particle "got", as it just re-enforces the idea of possession, but most people do tend to add it on because it sounds better.
PS. It should be: Does he have?
