     UNIDAD 3
     EL VERBO "HAVE"

 

   Escriba la forma adecuada del verbo have en los espacios en blanco.

 

1. Have (got) significa "tener". Got se puede omitir en un estilo formal. Se conjuga de la siguiente manera:
   I have got (yo tengo)
   you have got (tú tienes / usted tiene)
   he has got (él tiene)
   she has got (ella tiene)
   it has got ("ello" tiene; más información sobre it aquí)
   we have got (nosotros tenemos)
   you have got (vosotros tenéis / ustedes tienen)
   they have got (ellos tienen)

   En forma contracta se escribe como indicamos a continuación:
   I've got1
   you've got
   he's got
   she's got
   it's got
   we've got
   you've got
   they've got

a  She __________ a big house.
b  They __________ a mansion.
c  I __________ a cold.
d  We __________ a lot of homework to do.
e  You __________ my approval.

 

2. La negativa se hace de la siguiente manera:
   I have not got2
   you have not got
   he has not got
   she has not got
   it has not got
   we have not got
   you have not got
   they have got

   Veamos ahora las formas contractas:
   I haven't got3
   you haven't got
   he hasn't got
   she hasn't got
   it hasn't got
   we haven't got
   you haven't got
   they haven't got

   Si prescindimos de got4, tenemos dos posibilidades:
   I have not/I do not5 have6
   you haven't/you don't have
   he hasn't/he doesn't have
   she hasn't/she doesn't have
   it hasn't/it doesn't have
   we haven't/we don't have
   you haven't/you don't have
   they haven't/they don't have

a  We __________ (not) all the material needed.
b  He __________ (not) enough patience to teach anybody.
c  She __________ (not) all the qualities of leadership.
d  They __________ (not) our support.
e  It __________ (not) four sides.

 

3. Observemos ahora la interrogativa:
   have I got?
   have you got?
   has he got?
   has she got?
   has it got?
   have we got?
   have you got?
   have they got?

   Sin embargo, si no mencionamos got, cabe asimismo la siguiente posibilidad:
   do I have?
   do you have?
   does he have?
   does she have?
   does it have?
   do we have?
   do you have?
   do they have?

____________________
1  No podemos quitar got aquí para reforzar las formas contractas, y evitar confusión.
   It's got a window. (It has a window. » Tiene una ventana.)
   It's a window (It is a window. » Es una ventana.)
2  Got también se puede omitir aquí en un estilo más formal.
3  Got se puede omitir, pero no, con la siguiente forma contracta: I've not got.
4  Utilice do cuando have exprese obligación o hábito:
   Do you have to work today? (obligación » ¿Tienes que trabajar hoy?)
   No, I do not have to work today because it is Sunday. (obligación » No, no tengo que trabajar hoy porque es domingo.)
   He does not usually have money. He is very poor. (hábito » Normalmente no tiene dinero. Es muy pobre.)
   Véase también la unidad 4.
5  Cuando contraemos, do not cambia a don't, y does not, a doesn't.
6  Las formas con do y does se usan principalmente en los Estados Unidos de América, aunque están ganando terreno en el Reino Unido.
7  De hecho, got solamente se dice en el presente simple:
   He has (got) a motorcyle. (presente simple » Tiene moto.)
   She has had that motorbike for over twenty years now. (presente perfecto » Ya tiene esa moto más de veinte años.)
   He will never have the courage to do it. (futuro perfecto » Nunca tendrá el valor de hacerlo.)

   Cuando have es un verbo auxiliar, no lleva ni got ni do/does/did:
   I have found the key. (He encontrado la llave.)
   He has not driven a car for years. (Hace años que no conduce un coche.)
   Had you ever been there? (¿Habías estado alguna vez allí?)
8  Had not o hadn't (forma contracta) es posible, pero menos usual que la alternativa con did.
9  Had I?, etc., es posible, pero mucho menos usual.
10  Para ejercicios adicionales pulse aquí.
11  Got no se usa en las respuestas breves. En la afirmativa, no se puede contraer en las respuestas breves, pero en la negativa, sí:
   Have you got the key?
   Yes, I have./No, I haven't.
   Do you have the key?
   Yes, I do./No, I don't.
