maliusmaximus  +  485899 Fri, 07 Mar 08 04:20 AM Hello, As far as I can tell, answering the question "Has she got long hair?" with the response "yes she has/no she hasn't" is gramatically correct, however as a native English speaker this doesn't sound intuitive. I'm inclined to answer with "yes she does/no she doesn't". I've looked high and low for a grammar rule that supports or refutes this, but haven't had any luck. Could somebody point me in the right direction? My thinking is that "has" needs to be tied to a possessive, whereas "does" can stand alone. maliusmaximus Joined on Fri, Mar 7 2008 New Member 03 Grammar, Possessives
