Q1  15
Q1 15

Question 1: Which sentence uses the correct form of 'have' for a third-person singular subject? She ___ a new laptop.

Question 1 options
'Has' is correct because 'have' conjugates as 'has' with he/she/it in the present tense. 'Have got', 'has got', and 'had' are either plural forms or past tense forms that do not fit a simple present possession statement.
Q2 15

Question 2: Complete the sentence with the correct form: I ___ two brothers and one sister.

Question 2 options
'Have got' is correct because it is a natural, informal way to express possession in the first person present tense. 'Has got' is for third-person singular, 'had got' is past tense, and 'have gets' is not a real form.
Q3 15

Question 3: Both 'have' and 'have got' can be used to express possession in the present tense.

Question 3 options
True because both 'have' and 'have got' mean the same thing when describing possession. For example, 'I have a car' and 'I have got a car' are both grammatically correct and carry the same meaning.
Q4 15

Question 4: Why would a speaker most likely choose 'have got' instead of 'have' in the sentence: 'You've got to try this pizza!'?

Question 4 options
'Have got' adds emphasis to the statement. In informal spoken English, 'have got' is used to stress urgency or importance, making 'You've got to try this pizza!' more emphatic than 'You have to try this pizza.'
Q5 15

Question 5: Arrange the words to make a correct sentence:

Question 5 options
  • garden
  • She
  • a really nice
  • has got

Drag items or use arrows to arrange them in the correct order.

The correct order is 'She has got a really nice garden' because 'has got' is used with a third-person singular subject to express possession informally in the present tense.
Q6 15

Question 6: Which sentence is grammatically correct?

Question 6 options
'Do you have a bicycle?' is correct because 'have' in questions requires the auxiliary verb 'do/does'. 'Have got' questions use inversion ('Have you got...?'), not 'do/does'. The other options mix these structures incorrectly.
Q7 15

Question 7: Tom: 'Is there any juice left?' Sara: 'No, we ___ any juice. Let's buy some.' Which option correctly completes Sara's reply?

Question 7 options
'Haven't got' is correct because it is the negative form of 'have got', formed by adding 'not' to 'have' without an auxiliary verb. 'Don't have got' incorrectly adds an auxiliary to 'have got', and 'hasn't got' is for third-person singular, not 'we'.
Q8 15

Question 8: Which sentence correctly uses 'have got' instead of 'have' to express possession?

Question 8 options
'I've got a headache' is the correct informal 'have got' form for possession. 'I got a headache' omits 'have', making it a simple past form with a different meaning. The other options use incorrect contractions or structures.
Q9 15

Question 9: Put the words in the correct order:

Question 9 options
  • any free time
  • you got
  • Have
  • this weekend?

Drag items or use arrows to arrange them in the correct order.

The correct order is 'Have you got any free time this weekend?' because 'have got' questions are formed by inverting 'have' and the subject, without using 'do/does'.
Q10 15

Question 10: My friend is writing a formal email to her boss. Which sentence best completes this part: 'Dear Mr. Brown, I ___ some questions about the project.'?

Question 10 options
'Have' is the best choice for formal writing. 'Have got' is more informal and casual, making it less appropriate in a formal email. The other options use incorrect subject-verb agreement or tense.
Q11 15

Question 11: Which statement about forming negative sentences with 'have' and 'have got' is true?

Question 11 options
With 'have', you need the auxiliary verb 'do/does' to form negatives (e.g., 'She doesn't have a car'). With 'have got', you add 'not' directly to 'have' (e.g., 'She hasn't got a car') — no auxiliary is needed.
Q12 15

Question 12: Rewrite using 'have got': 'She does not have any brothers.' → She ___ any brothers.

Question 12 options
'Hasn't got' is correct because the negative of 'has got' (third-person singular) is formed by adding 'not' directly to 'has', giving 'hasn't got'. No auxiliary verb like 'does' is used with 'have got'.
Q13 15

Question 13: Match each sentence to the correct grammar label.

Question 13 options
Do you have a pen?
Have you got a pen?
She hasn't got any money.
I have a meeting tomorrow.
Negative with 'have got', no auxiliary verb
Formal present possession with 'have'
Question with 'have got' using inversion
Question with 'have' using auxiliary 'do'

Select an item on the left, then tap its match on the right.

'Have' uses do/does in questions and negatives; 'have got' uses inversion and has/have + not. 'Have got' is informal while 'have' suits formal contexts. Both express possession in the present.
Q14 15

Question 14: 'Have got' can be used in the past tense to describe past possession, just like 'have'.

Question 14 options
False because 'have got' is only used in the present tense. To express past possession, you must use 'had' alone — not 'had got' (which is rare and generally avoided). For example, 'I had a dog' is correct, not 'I had got a dog'.
Q15 15

Question 15: Which sentence is more appropriate for a job interview?

Question 15 options
'I have five years of experience in marketing' is better for a formal context like a job interview. 'Have got' is informal and more common in casual spoken English, making it less suitable for professional or formal situations.
