difference between have and have got
|
|
Dear teachers,
Is it safe to say have got is not used with adverbs of frequency?
Sometimes I have (=eat) a banana for breakfast. not have got
I often have (=experience) headaches. not have got
Not sure of when usage of have got is incorrect. |

As far as I know, have got is never used with any of the �have expressions �. So, have a headache, have sth for breakfast are �have expressions � and therefore cannot be used with have got.
Have got is used when you are talking about sth you �own�, for example I have got a dog. |

People do say �I �ve got a headache, toothache etc � and �What have you got next? � �I �ve got geography � etc |
