Al present simple, il verbo to have ha anche una forma breve, che usiamo soprattutto nelle conversazioni informali:
| TO HAVE (FORMA STANDARD) | TO HAVE (FORMA BREVE) |
|---|---|
| I have (io ho) | I've (got) |
| You have (tu hai) | You've (got) |
| She/He/It has (lui/lei ha) | She's / He's / It's (got) |
| We have (noi abbiamo) | We've (got) |
| You have (voi avete) | You've (got) |
| They have (loro hanno) | They've (got) |
Quando si descrive il possesso, la forma breve è generalmente seguita da got, soprattutto per evitare confusione con la forma breve del verbo to be (he's/she's/it's : lui/lei è) To be, present simple, short form.
He's got a lovely uncle. (Lui ha uno zio simpatico.)
They've got a large garden. (Hanno un giardino grande.)
