And this is Happy English Podcast Episode seven 8 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:46,960 oh nine. Nine Ways to use have. For this English lesson, we're 9 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,280 going to look at nine different ways that we use the verb have. Have 10 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:58,799 is one of those interesting words in English that has multiple meanings and uses, 11 00:00:59,399 --> 00:01:04,000 as well as a number of different grammar patterns. By the way, have 12 00:01:04,359 --> 00:01:10,480 is an irregular verb, and the three parts are have, had, and 13 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:17,319 had. Let's get the ball rolling. First of all, we use have 14 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:25,480 when we talk about possession and ownership. You have something, someone has something. 15 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:32,079 I have two dogs. You'll notice that, even though I'm talking about 16 00:01:32,239 --> 00:01:38,200 right now, I'm not using have in the progressive form. I can say 17 00:01:38,519 --> 00:01:44,640 I have a dog, but not I'm having a dog. That's the basic 18 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:49,879 usage you have. Let's look at some other examples. A friend of mine 19 00:01:49,959 --> 00:01:55,400 has a summer house in the countryside. Jen has a dog, but Kate 20 00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:00,840 has a cat. Do you have an iPhone or a Galaxy? Next, 21 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:07,159 you can use half when you talk about relationships between people. Someone has a 22 00:02:07,199 --> 00:02:12,879 brother or a sister. You have friends in coworkers, and so on. 23 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:19,680 Here are some other examples. Ted has two older brothers. I heard Kevin 24 00:02:19,759 --> 00:02:24,800 has a new girlfriend. Kim and her husband have a big family. We 25 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:30,879 also use have when we talk about health issues. You can have a headache, 26 00:02:31,199 --> 00:02:36,759 have pain, have a fever, and so on. For example, 27 00:02:37,439 --> 00:02:42,280 I had a hangover this morning. Mom has a headache, so she's taking 28 00:02:42,319 --> 00:02:46,080 a nap. Veto has a cold, so he's not coming to the party. 29 00:02:47,319 --> 00:02:52,639 We can also use have when we talk about hosting an event, like 30 00:02:53,319 --> 00:02:58,719 have a party or have a meeting. Here are some examples. We're having 31 00:02:58,719 --> 00:03:04,360 a birthday party for can you come? They are having a shareholder's meeting in 32 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:09,680 the conference room. They usually have Comic Con at the Javits Center in New 33 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:15,759 York City. Next, let's talk about some grammar patterns With have. You 34 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:23,840 can use have followed by an adjective to describe your experience you can have fun, 35 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:28,960 have a nice time, and have a blast. That's an idiom which 36 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:34,919 means you really enjoy yourself. Here are some examples. I had a blast 37 00:03:34,919 --> 00:03:39,560 at the party last night. Did you have fun on your vacation? Ted 38 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:46,199 said he had a tough time preparing for the workshop. The next grammar pattern 39 00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:51,520 is have to. When you talk about obligations, the pattern is have to 40 00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:58,159 followed by a verb, and the usual pronunciation is have to have to. 41 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,080 I have to work, I have to clean the house, I have to 42 00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:08,120 go. Here are some other examples. I have to work on Sundays. 43 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,080 Do you have to work late tonight? What do you have to do next 44 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:18,519 weekend? Next, you can use have followed by an object followed by a 45 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:28,360 jerrand someone has someone doing something like this. The boss had us working late 46 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:35,199 last night. You can also say that someone has something doing like this. 47 00:04:36,079 --> 00:04:43,439 The mechanic had my car running smoothly in about twenty minutes. Here are some 48 00:04:43,519 --> 00:04:48,959 other examples. Jack is so funny. He had all of us laughing hard 49 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:55,360 at the party. Amanda's mom had all of the girls working hard in the 50 00:04:55,439 --> 00:05:02,040 kitchen helping her bake cookies. Another for of the causative with have is have 51 00:05:02,759 --> 00:05:09,759 followed by an object followed by a past participle verb. We use this grammar 52 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:15,399 to talk about asking someone to do something for you or arranging for something to 53 00:05:15,519 --> 00:05:20,519 get done. You can say things like I need to have my haircut, 54 00:05:21,319 --> 00:05:26,920 I had my car washed, we are going to have the house painted. 55 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:32,839 I talked about all of the causative forms of have in episode seven six a 56 00:05:32,879 --> 00:05:39,959 few weeks ago, so check out that episode to learn more. And finally, 57 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:46,120 we use have in conditional sentences with if. Here are some examples of 58 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,519 that. If I lived in a house, I would have a big dog 59 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:55,879 like a German shepherd. If I had had more time, I would have 60 00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,439 studied more for the exam. Keep in mind, the best way to remember 61 00:06:00,519 --> 00:06:06,120 this and any other grammar pattern is to take the word or phrase, write 62 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:11,879 it in a sentence that's true for you or true in your world, and 63 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:18,040 then memorize your sentences. Oh no, don't we have any more time for 64 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:24,079 this lesson? I guess not.
