Grade 9 Grammar Lesson 17 The verb ‘have’

When do we use ‘used to’?
What is the present form of ‘used to’?
How do we form negatives and questions with ‘used to’?

• Both have and have got mean possess. So we can use either have or have got.
• When have means possess, questions and negatives can be formed in three different ways:
• We can use have got or have for illness, pain etc.
• When have is used to mean possess, it doesn’t have continuous forms.
• In questions and negatives we normally use do/does/did for present and past tense.
• The past form of have or have got is had.
• When have is an action verb meaning eat/drink/take, we use
• am/is/are/was/were/have/has/had as auxiliary verbs for different tenses.
