The verb have is one of the two most frequently used verbs in English, after to be. Have can be used in two different functions:

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:

-

haven’t got = I don’t have 

You haven’t got = You don’t have 
He/She/It hasn’t got = He/She/It doesn’t have 
We haven’t got = We don’t have 
They haven’t got = They don’t have
