have: possessive
PEG 122
In British English, have meaning possess is not normally conjugatec with do except when there is an idea of habit.
/ haven't (got) a watch, (present possession)
How many corners has a (a characteristic rather than a habit cube?
He doesn 't usually have time (habit) to study.
In the past, did is used for habit; otherwise either form is possible:
Did you have/Had you an umbrella when you left the house?
In other English-speaking countries, however, the do forms are used almost exclusively. It would therefore be possible to use do/did forms throughout the following exercises (except in no. 27), but students are asked to use have not/have you forms where they could be used. Where both are equally usual this will be noted in the key.
