Making 'Have Got' Negative

- Add 'NOT' after 'have' or 'has'.

Using Haven't Got and Hasn't Got
For 'I, YOU, WE, THEY', we use 'HAVE NOT GOT', which is usually shortened to 'HAVEN'T GOT'. For 'HE, SHE, IT', we use 'HAS NOT GOT', shortened to 'HASN'T GOT'. Remember 'it' is for animals or things, so 'the dog' would use 'hasn't got'.
- I, YOU, WE, THEY use 'haven't got'.
- HE, SHE, IT use 'hasn't got'.
Examples and Important Tips
If you want to say 'I don't have a bike', you say 'I haven't got a bike'. If 'she doesn't have a sister', it's 'She hasn't got a sister'. Always check the subject to pick 'haven't' or 'hasn't'. The 'got' part never changes.
- Compare positive: 'I have got a bike' with negative: 'I haven't got a bike'.
- 'Haven't got' and 'hasn't got' are common in British English.
