USAGE /ˈjuːsɪdʒ/: Have got, have

• In British spoken English, people usually use have got instead of have for many of its meanings. 

Have sounds more formal and is the usual choice in written English. You say:He's got a cold.

You write: He has a cold.

• In questions in British spoken English, Have you got ...? is often used instead of Do you have ...? 

You say: Have you got his address?

You write: Do you have his address?

• In negative sentences in British spoken English, you use haven't got or hasn't got. You say: He hasn't got any money.

You write: He does not have any money.

• Have got is mainly used in the present tense. In the past tense you usually use had, and in the future you usually use will have.

• In American English, have got is much less common. It is used when you want to emphasize what you are saying:

He's got a gun!

It is also often used in the phrase have got to (=have to): We've got to go.

• In negative sentences, British speakers often say I haven't got ... where American speakers say I don't have ... 

In questions, British speakers say Have you got ...? where American speakers say Do you have ...?
