The verb “to have” as a Notional, Auxiliary and Modal verb.
The verb “to have” as a notional verb is used in the meaning of «иметь, обладать чем-либо».
E.g. I have a dog.
Our University has many faculties.
My father had a dog when he was a child.
Note 1. You can say “I have” or “I have got”, “he has” or “he has (he’s) got”.
E.g. I have a headache or
I’ve got a headache.
I haven’t got a car, but I’ve got a motorbike.
Note 2. Negative and interrogative sentences are:
I haven’t got; Have you got…?
I don’t have; Dou you have…?
(Have you a car? – is very rarely used).
Note 3. Mind that the verb “to have” is not used in the continuous form in its notional meaning.
But is used in the continuous form in the expressions:
to have a good time
to have breakfast (dinner, supper, etc.)
to have a smoke
to have a rest, etc.
The verb “to have as an auxiliary verb is used to form the finite verb forms (Perfect and Perfect Continuous).” It indicates the character of the action and is not translated into Russian.
E.g. We have just finished the job and are ready to go out.
Мы только что закончили работу и готовы прогуляться.
They have been doing this boring job so long that they had got used to it.
Они делали эту скучную работу так долго, что уже к ней привыкли.
Note. To express a question you must put the first auxiliary before the subject; for a negative form place “not” after the auxiliary.
The verb “to have” as a modal verb is used in the meaning of “necessity” or “obligation”. In this case you have no other way out but fulfill this action. It is translated into Russian as «вынужден», «приходится», «необходимо», «должен».
E.g. You have to pass a test before you get a driving license.
Тебе необходимо сдать тест, чтобы получить водительское удостоверение.
We had to walk home last night there were no buses.
Нам пришлось вчера вечером идти пешком – не было автобусов.
Note. In questions and negatives we use the auxiliaries do/does, did.
E.g. What time do you have to go to the dentist tomorrow?
I’m not working tomorrow, so I don’t have to get up early.
Why did you have to leave the party early?
