Cách sử dụng have got và have

Tuy đều có ý nghĩa thể hiện ‘sở hữu’ song cách thức sử dụng của Have got và Have vẫn có sự khác biệt. Cùng tìm hiểu trong bài viết này nhé.

1. Cách sử dụng Have got và Have 

1.1    Have got = have

  • Dùng have got như là hình thức thay thế cho have để diễn tả sự sở hữu ở hiện tại. Have got thường được dùng phổ biến hơn trong văn phong thân mật Anh – Anh (British – English)

Ví dụ:

He has got a car but he hasn’t got a garage to keep it in. 

(Anh ấy có một chiếc xe hơi nhưng anh ấy không có nhà để xe để giữ nó)

  • Trong văn phong viết, chúng ta có thể dùng have got nhưng have lại thường dùng hơn.

Ví dụ: 

Applicants have three months in which to complete and return the forms 

(Những người nộp đơn xin việc có ba tháng để hoàn thành và hoàn trả lại đơn)

  • Chúng ta thường dùng have không phải have got để nói về sự sở hữu ở quá khứ hoặc tương lai

Ví dụ:

I had a  puppy when I was a child (= possessed)

(Tôi có một chú chó con khi tôi còn là một đứa trẻ)

I’m going to have a cottage by the seaside when I retire. (= going to possess)

(Tôi sắp sửa có một căn nhà nghỉ mát bên bờ biển khi tôi về hưu)

  • Have got và have không có hình thức tiếp diễn hoặc bị động khi chúng có nghĩa sở hữu (possess)

Ví dụ: 

He is having got a car (wrong)

A car has been got by him  (wrong)

1.2   Have got ≠ have

  • Have got cũng là thì hiện tại hoàn thành của động từ get. Nó có nghĩa là has become, has obtained, has received ...

Ví dụ: Hãy so sánh cặp câu sau

She’s got/ has a degree in Chemistry and works at the lab (= possesses)

(Cô ấy sở hữu tấm bằng về Hóa học và làm việc tại phòng thí nghiệm)

She’s just got a degree  and hopes to get a job in a lab. (= has just obtained )
