In pairs: ask and answer about pets. If you don't have one, talk about the pet you would like.

  • Use: "Have you got a pet?"
  • Use: "I've got a / I haven't got…"
  • Use: "What's its name?"
  • Use: "How old is it?"

Step 2 · Let's Practise

Common difficulties

The parts learners usually find hard in this lesson.

Pronunciation: Singular and plural — same form

Chunks

Some don't change: fish → fish, sheep → sheep. Mouse → mice. Most others: +s.

one fish — two fish

one sheep — two sheep

one mouse — two mice

two cats

three rabbits

Tricky ones — say it, then check

Recall

These are the parts beginners often get wrong.

Common difficulties

Practise

Slow down and choose carefully.

  1. He ___ a dog.

  2. I've ___ a fish.

Answer, then check.

Step 3 · Let's Use It

have / have got

Strengthen the grammar from this lesson — a different route into it.

Quick explanation

Understand

have = have got (same meaning). 'I have a dog' = 'I've got a dog'. Negative: don't have / haven't got.

  • I have a cat.
  • I've got two rabbits.
  • She has a dog.

Notice the pattern

Notice

Read the sentences. What is the same in each one?

  • I have a cat.
  • I've got two rabbits.
  • She has a dog.
  • She's got a parrot.

Choose the right form

Practise

One answer only. Take your time.

  1. I ___ a small dog.

  2. She ___ got two cats.

  3. I ___ have any pets.

  4. ___ you got a hamster?

Answer, then check.
