The use of hev and hez. Have to Modal design. What are the modal verbs in English

The verb to have in English, along with the verbs to be and to do, plays one of the key roles in the construction of phrases and sentences in relation to all tenses used. Depending on the context in which the semantic turnover is used, and the meaning it can have is completely different.

Verb to have: basic meaning

>

As for the main use of this verb, so to speak, in its pure form, it is most often translated or defined as "to have" or "to possess."

In the simplest case, when the phrase is constructed in the singular or plural of the first and third person, it is used in the main form. For example, I (we, they, you) have a dog - "I (we, they, you) have a dog." However, for the third person singular and for constructing sentences indicating a past (accomplished) event, other forms are used.

Conjugation

>

In order to fully understand the specifics of the application, the verb has (had) as a derivative of the main indefinite form to have should be considered precisely in the context of conjugation using persons and tenses. The meaning of any phrase will depend on this.

The forms of the verb have (or more correctly - to have) are as follows.

Note that in relation to the pronoun you, the verb is used in the same form, but sometimes in English the pronoun itself can have the context of both “you” and “you” appeals. In the American language, everything is simpler in this regard. The fact is that it always uses the appeal to “you”, and even in the sense of using the verb to be (in this case, its form are).

For example, the phrase Are you sure? It can be translated both as "Are you sure?", And as "Are you sure (sure)?". The same is true with the verb to have.

Verb has (had): difference in usage

>

Based on the above system of conjugation of the main verb, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion about the use of some of its forms. As already clear, the English verbs has refer to the present tense of the third person (he, she, it), and the had form is a derivative for constructing past tense sentences for any person and number (this will be discussed separately).

Using the verb in the present tense

>

As already mentioned, the main form to have and its derivative (the English verb has in particular) in the present tense denote the possession of something (as was shown in the example above).

The form changes from have to has only when changing person and number. That is, has is used exclusively in cases where the main pronoun is he, she, or it (third person singular). For example, She has a dog - "She has a dog." With this, everything is simple. However, the correct form of the verb has is the basic verb to have (indefinite form).

Using the verb in the past tense

>

With the past tense, things are not so simple. The point here is that phrases may not be limited to using the special form had, and therefore the sentence may have a different meaning in terms of the period of time when a certain action occurred.

To make it clearer, consider two examples. For the first case, let's take the phrase I had a pen. It can be translated as "I had a pen" (once upon a time). But if you use two forms of the main verb in the sentence I have had a pen, the meaning changes dramatically. This expression can also be interpreted as "I had a pen", but the action has just ended. Roughly speaking, the pen was there a few moments ago, but now it is gone.

In addition, the verb to have can be used with other verbs, but all together indicates different time intervals of actions and their completeness. So, the phrase I have visited an exhibition can be translated as “I visited (visited) an exhibition” (just now). But when the sentence I have been visiting an exhibition is used (or with the abbreviation I've been - the forms of the verb have can also have such a form as abbreviated versions of to be in affirmative, interrogative or negative sentences), the interpretation implies that visiting the exhibition as ongoing action took place at the very moment in question.

If the sentence also contains a past tense verb, the meaning changes accordingly (I’ve been visited ... - “I was visited (by someone)”, “I was visited / visited”).

But participles may also be present, for example, I’ve been crying - “I cried / cried” at the very moment in question (literally - “I was / was crying / crying”).

By the way, often among Americans you can find the addition of the verb to get when constructing past tense phrases. In this case, the phrase I’ve got .. is almost equivalent to the usual sentence of the past tense, although it can be literally translated as “I received / received”, “Became / became the owner”, etc.

Building sentences in the future tense

>

The conjugation of the verb has, hopefully, is already clear, although by and large this is an absolutely incorrect formulation of the question, since it is not the verb has that is conjugated, but its main form to have. But let's move on to building sentences in the future tense. Here, too, there is a lot of interesting things. As a rule, to describe actions in the near future, that is, if something needs to be done right now, the verb to have can also be used, but in this case it means some kind of obligation. True, in Russian there is no pure analogue to such phrases. Let's explain with an example.

The phrase I have to go into Russian can literally be translated as "I have to go." Brad, right? To adjust in terms of the obligation described, the translation “I must go” is used, which is more understandably described by the English phrase I must go. But a complete analogy in translation can be found in the same Ukrainian language, which in this respect is somewhat closer to European ones. In the literal version, the above phrase can be translated as "I may go", which means "I must (should) leave." At the same time, the action that needs to be performed now or at a certain period of time after voicing the intention is put into the meaning.

Inconsistencies between English and American: interrogative sentences

>

Let's leave the verb has (had) aside for now and look at some of the nuances that can be found in pure English and unified American languages. From the point of view of the construction of interrogative sentences, in English they must begin with the main verb denoting a specific action. In other words, it would be possible to ask the interlocutor if he has a dog with the help of the phrase Have you a dog?. From an English point of view, this is correct. But Americans often add the action verb to do to the seemingly main verb to have, which plays the main role. Thus, the question about a dog in the American version looks like this: Do you have a dog?

In addition, very often you can find phrases like You have a dog?, And it is in the interrogative form. If translated this phrase, it can mean surprise “Oh, do you have a dog?”. The emphasis is either on the word "eat" or on the word "dog". In other words, the question implies the usual surprise at some fact. By the way, the classic rules for constructing sentences of any time or any level of complexity, in contrast to the inhabitants of old England with its well-established traditions, are simply ignored by Americans.

Conclusion

>

As you can see from the above, the verb has (had) is just one of the forms of the main verb to have. And its use, depending on the type of situation, can be completely different. But, I think, the main aspects on the simplest examples are already clear to most readers.

So, dear lovers of English, for sure, you have long known the conjugation of the verb to have. However, repetition is the mother of learning, so it doesn’t hurt to conjugate all three forms once again.

affirmative form I have (I "ve) you have (you "ve) he has she has it has we have (we "ve) you have (you "ve) they have (they've)

negative form I have not (I haven't) you have not (you haven't) he has not (he hasn't) she has not (she hasn't) it has not (it hasn't) we have not (we haven't) you have not (you haven't) they have not (they haven't)

Interrogative form Have I? Have you? Has he? Has she? Has it? Have we? Have you? Have they?

As for the interrogative form, in the British variant of the language the verb to have often comes before the subject, and in the American variant the interrogative and negative forms are usually formed using the auxiliary verb do:

The scheme of such a proposal:

Actor + had + object/creature/person.

I
You
We		a car
They	had	a phone
She		a problem
He
It

Examples

They had the book.
They had this book.

She had a bicycle.
She had a bicycle.

verb have in future tense

To say that you will have something / someone in the future, we need to put have in the future tense (Future Simple). To do this, we put the auxiliary verb will before have.

At the same time, we do not change have in any way depending on the actor.

The scheme of such a proposal:

Actor + will have + object / creature / person.

I
You
We			a car
They	will	have	a phone
She			a cat
He
It

Examples

We will have a dog.

Negative sentences with the verb have in English

>

We can say that we don't have, didn't have, won't have something. For this we use negation.

Previously, negative sentences with have did not require an auxiliary verb. It was just necessary to put a negative particle after our verb.

I have not a car.
I do not have a car.

Such sentences can be found in books.

Now in English we form negation with the help of the auxiliary verb (do, does, did, will) and the negative particle not.

For each tense, of course, we use our own auxiliary verb.

Negative sentences with have in the present tense

In the present tense, we form a negative with the auxiliary verb do and the negative particle not.

If we are talking about someone in the singular (he, she, Tom), then we use the auxiliary verb does and the negative particle not. We do not change the verb have.

You can read more about this rule in the article Present simple.

Abbreviations

We can abbreviate do/does with the negative particle not as follows:

do + not = don't;
does + not = doesn't.

Now let's look at the scheme of such a proposal.

Actor + do/does + not + have + object/creature/person.

I
You
We	do			a car
They		not	have	a sister
She				a cat
He	does
It

Examples

I don't have a brother.
I do not have a brother.

She doesn't’ thave a rabbit.
She doesn't have a rabbit.

Negative sentences with have in the past tense

To say that we did not have something, someone in the past, we put the auxiliary verb did with the negative particle not in English.

We can use shorthand:

did + not = didn't’ t.

The outline of such a proposal would be:

Actor + did + not + have + object / creature / person.

I
You
We				a car
They	did	not	have	a phone
She				a problem
He
It

Examples

They didn't have a cat.
They didn't have a cat.

She didn't’ thave friends.

Negative sentences with have in the future tense

You
We				a car
They	will	not	have	a phone
She				a problem
He
It

Examples

Interrogative sentences with the verb have in English

>

We can ask whether there was, whether there will be something in a person.

As with the negation, it used to be possible to form a question simply by putting have first in a sentence.

For example

Have you a sister?
Do you have a sister?

But now, to form a question, we use auxiliary verbs that we put in the first place in the sentence. We use a different auxiliary verb for each tense.

Interrogative sentences with have in present tense

To ask if a person has something, we put the auxiliary verb do in the first place in the sentence.

If the actor is he, she, it, then we use the auxiliary verb does.

The scheme of such a proposal:

Do/does + character + have + object/creature/person?

	I
	you
Do	we		a car?
	they	have	a sister?
	she		a cat?
Does	he
	it

Example

Do you have a pen?
Do you have a pen?

Does he have a wife?
He has a wife?

Interrogative sentences with have in the past tense

To ask if a person had something in the past, we need to put the auxiliary verb did in the first place in the sentence.

The proposal outline would be:

Did + character + have + object/creature/person?

	I
	you
	we		a car?
Did	they	have	a phone?
	she		a problem?
	he
	it

Examples

Interrogative sentences with have in the future tense

Its schema will be like this:

	we		a car?

Using the expression have got in English

>

You may come across such a combination as have got. It is often used in spoken English, especially British English.

The meaning of have got is no different from have. We also use it when we say we own something. Only the have got construction is more informal.

This expression is used only in the present tense. Let's look at all kinds of offers with it.

Affirmative sentences with have got

The protagonist comes first in the sentence. Depending on the actor, have got can take the following forms:

• has got - when we talk about someone in the singular (he, she, it, Tom, Mary);
• have got - for everyone else (me, they, we, you, you, children, friends).

The proposal scheme will be as follows:

a phone She a problem He has got It

Examples

I have got a watch.
I have a watch.

She has got a bag.
She has a bag.

Negative sentences with have got

In contrast to the verb have, the expression have got does not require an auxiliary verb. So we just put not after have.

At the same time, have, as well as in affirmative sentences, varies depending on the actor.

In doing so, we can use the following abbreviations:

have + not = haven't
has + not = hasn't.

The scheme of such a proposal:

Actor + have/has + not + got + object/creature/person.

tgot a cup.
She doesn't have a cup.

Interrogative sentences with have got

Just like in the negative, we don't need an auxiliary verb to ask a question. We simply move have to the first place in the sentence.

For she, he, it we use has.

The scheme of such a proposal:

Have + character + got + object/creature/person?

I
You
We	have			a car
They		not	got	a sister
She

	I
	you
have	we		a car
	they	got	a sister
	she		a cat
Has	he
	it

Examples

have you got a bottle of water?
Do you have a bottle of water?
