Have got vs has got grammar Exercise

Practise choosing between "have got" and "has got" to express possession, relationships, and characteristics accurately.

Exercise Guide

How to complete:

Read each sentence and decide whether the blank needs "have got" or "has got". Think about the subject before the blank.

  • Identify the subject: I, you, we, and they use "have got"; he, she, it, and singular nouns use "has got".
  • Look for collective nouns like "team" or "family" to decide if they act as a singular unit.
  • Keep the sentence meaning in mind so the verb form sounds natural.

Success tips:

  • Remember contractions: "I've got" equals "I have got", while "She's got" equals "She has got".
  • Check plural endings; plural nouns normally take "have got".
  • When the subject is a thing or idea (like "the laptop"), use "has got" if it is singular.
  • Say the sentence aloud to hear which form fits naturally.

Knowledge:

English learners often hear both "have got" and "has got" in everyday speech because they are common ways to show possession or describe features. These exercises help you link each subject with the correct verb form so your sentences sound natural.

Pay special attention to collective nouns, devices, and groups of people. Deciding whether they act like a single unit or a plural group will guide you to the right choice between "have got" and "has got".
