To have / have got

Le verbe 'to have' signifie la plupart du temps 'avoir' (we have a problem => nous avons un problème).
Mais il peut aussi dans certains cas avoir le sens de 'prendre'(we have breakfast at eight => nous prenons le petit déjeuner à 8 heures.)

On ajoute parfois la particule GOT pour obtenir l'expression have got qui signifie également avoir/posséder. Cette expression est toutefois plus utilisée en anglais britannique (c'est-à-dire en Angleterre, en Écosse, en Irlande du Nord et au Pays de Galles) qu'en anglais américain et on l'emploie davantage à l'oral qu'à l'écrit (il s'agit d'un registre plutôt familier).

Exemple : I have got a car => j'ai une voiture.

Remarque : avec GOT, have est un auxiliaire, mais employé seul, il se conjugue comme un verbe ordinaire.
