Have got and have

The French teacher Mrs Haquet from Frenchfrog's Little English Pond has created this interactive book that can help us study and learn the differences between have got / have in the present.

Mrs Haquet's book starts by going over the affirmative, negative and interrogative forms of both have got and have, through the help of both the written and aural mode. Then she suggests some practical exercises for the students to put her explanations into practice.

The second part of the book has to do with vocabulary: Students get acquainted with vocabulary which has to do with the family and pets, which includes some practise for students to memorise it.

This vocabulary is finally used as a springboard to have additional practise with have got/have.
