Glagol to have
Have može označavati posjedovanje, iskustvo ili aktivnost, a kao pomoćni glagol gradi perfektna vremena. Oblici su have, had i had.
Posjedovanje: have i has
| Potvrdno | Odrično | Upitno |
|---|---|---|
| I have a guitar. | I do not have a guitar. | Do I have a guitar? |
| She has a guitar. | She does not have a guitar. | Does she have a guitar? |
| They have a guitar. | They do not have a guitar. | Do they have a guitar? |
U sadašnjem vremenu uz he/she/it koristimo has. Poslije does/doesn’t ostaje have.
Have got i prošlost
Have got je čest izraz za posjedovanje, naročito u britanskom engleskom. Za uobičajeno posjedovanje u prošlosti koristimo had, didn’t have i Did ... have? Had got može izražavati ranije pribavljanje i nije opća zamjena za jednostavno had.
Have kao pomoćni glagol
| Vrijeme | Primjer |
|---|---|
| Present Perfect | I have seen Ana. / She has seen Ana. |
| Past Perfect | I had seen Ana before the meeting. |
| Future Perfect | They will have finished by Friday. |
Iza pomoćnog have dolazi past participle. Pitanje gradimo inverzijom, bez do: Have you seen her? Negacija je have/has/had + not.
Have had i aktivnosti
Prvi have/had je pomoćni, a drugi had particip glavnog glagola. Have u izrazima za aktivnosti može biti u trajnom obliku: I am having lunch. Za posjedovanje obično kažemo I have a car.
