TO HAVE AS A MAIN VERB

• ​As a main verb “to have” implies the meaning of possession.

For example:

*When it is used to indicate possession you can say "I have..." or you might see/ hear "I have got...".

When you are talking about actions, you only use "have".

​For example:

• Possession:-

= "I have got a shower in my bathroom. I haven't got a bath".
