12. Remember these important points
'Have' and 'Have got' are used for possession.
Example: Jack has got a beautiful house. OR Jack has a beautiful house.
Only 'have' is used when talking about actions.
Example: I usually have breakfast at 8 o'clock. NOT I usually have got breakfast at 8 o'clock.
'Have' and 'Have got' (possession) are only used in the present simple. Use 'have' for the past simple or future forms.
Example: She had a copy of that book.
There is no contracted form for 'Have' in the positive form. The contracted form is used for 'have got'
Example: I have a red bicycle. OR I've got a red bicycle. NOT I've a red bicycle.
