Free A1–A2 Grammar Worksheet PDF: Have Got vs Have

Download this free A1–A2 grammar worksheet PDF for English learners and teachers. This lesson helps students practise have got and have for possession, family relationships and physical features.

Students learn that have got and have usually have the same meaning in the present when we talk about things we own, family relationships and physical features. The worksheet explains that both forms are natural in British English, and that have got is especially common in informal British English.

The worksheet teaches the have got system with positive sentences, negatives and questions. Students practise forms such as I have got a bike, Mia has got two brothers, We haven’t got a car, Leo hasn’t got a ticket, Have you got a passport? and Has she got a key?

Students also practise the have system with do / does in negatives and questions. The worksheet gives clear examples such as I have a bike, Mia has two brothers, We don’t have a car, Leo doesn’t have a ticket, Do you have a passport? and Does she have a key?

The worksheet also teaches students not to mix the two systems. Students learn to say We haven’t got a car or We don’t have a car, not We don’t have got a car. They also practise short answers such as Yes, I have, No, she hasn’t, Yes, I do and No, she doesn’t.

The PDF includes a grammar focus section, have got vs have exercises, choose-the-correct-form practice, sentence matching, mistake correction, mini-dialogues, sentence rewriting, meaning-and-use practice, speaking practice, writing practice, vocabulary and grammar sentence practice, an error-checking challenge, useful reminders and a full answer key.

This worksheet can be used in one-to-one lessons, group classes, online English lessons, adult ESL lessons, EFL classes, homework or independent grammar practice.
