particularly in spoken English, have as a main verb, meaning own or possess or receive the participle got. You can say "I have a family" or "I have got a family"
I have got= I have
You have got= You have
He/She/It has got=He/She/It has
We have got = We have
They have go= They have
In this case, the negative form is used without the do particle (don't/ doesn't) , but only by adding not after have:
-
I haven’t got = I don’t have
