| How about learning something new in English today? Let’s get to it then! The verb “to have” is one of the most important verbs in the English language. It can be used both as a main verb and an auxiliary verb. Today we are going to look at the affirmative form of the “to have” as a main verb in the present simple. The verb “to have” expresses possession of objects, characteristics and relationships. It may also be used to express an action, especially when eating, drinking or consuming something. Look at some examples:O verbo “to have” expressa a posse de coisas, as caraterísticas e as relações. Também pode usar-se para expressar uma ação, especialmente na hora de comer, beber ou consumir algo. Confira estes exemplos: - I always have a shower before I have breakfast.Sempre tomo banho antes de tomar o café da manhã. - He always has coffee and toast in the morning before work. Ele sempre toma café e torradas de manhã antes de ir trabalhar. Take a look at this short paragraph about John and Mary’s life to see how “to have” is used: John and Mary have a big house by the sea. They have a dog named Jack and he has blue eyes and grey fur. Every morning John and Mary have breakfast out on their terrace overlooking the sea. They love having barbecues on the beach. They have great weather all year round so it’s not a problem. They both have good jobs which is why they can afford to havesuch a luxurious life. John and Mary have everything they need to be happy.O John e a Mary têm uma casa grande perto do mar. Eles têm um cão que se chama Jack e tem os olhos azuis e o pelo cinza. Todas as manhãs, o John e a Mary tomam o café da manhã no seu terraço com vista para o mar. Eles adoram fazer churrascos na praia. Têm um clima excelente todo o ano, por isso não têm problema com isso. Ambos têm bons empregos e é por isso que se podem permitir ter uma vida tão luxuosa. O John e a Mary têm tudo o que precisam para serem felizes. • Remember that the third person form of “to have” is “has.” • Remember that “to have” is more common in American English to talk about possession and “have got” is more common in British English. I hope this has been helpful! For more on the affirmative of “to have”, please check out unit 25 of the ABA online course. Have a great weekend! Bye! |
