    Have got (British English) = have (American English)

    The verb have got is a common form used in the UK, mainly when people are speaking. In the US, people use the verb have.

    • I‘ve got a car. = I have a car.
    • I haven’t got a car. = I don’t have a car.
    • Have you got a car? = Do you have a car?

    Be careful with this common mistake!

    The verb have got only has a present form (NOT past).

    • I had a car. (NOT had got)
    • I didn’t have a car. (NOT hadn’t got)
    • Did you have car? (NOT Had you got)
