Do you have or Have you got - which one is correct  |
|
 When I was young enough not to know the English grammar I always used this second form: “Have you got” but now I heard that it is an old form – well not used now. What exactly is it?

1.  kprabhu (214) | 1 year ago |  i supposed to think there is nothing in the old form; all are still used by the people;of course i am not perfect in grammar also; but my suggestion is the verb makes the difference between the words you used here!i hope that one answer better than me soon!

| 3. cherokee3 (78) | 1 year ago | I think it may be more of slang phrase than anything just like aint and when you going to be home instead of are not and when are you going to be home?!! | |

I would think someone more educated and perhaps upper class would say "Do you have" whereas if you had a teenager speaking or a biker dude, they would say "have you got". If you are writing dialogue you want to portray the traits of the character in the way they talk.

6.  charlene2350 (4857) | 1 year ago |  Do you have a pencil? Have you got a pencil? Correct form is Do you have...
In .. Have you got a pencil... you are starting your sentence with a verb and it is awkward. I forgot the term for such a sentence.
