Donnie  +  7619 Wed, 10 Sep 03 03:29 PM how to use them in a sentence. it is correct to say she has but if you are going to use 'does' then the has becomes have. why? Donnie Joined on Sun, Sep 7 2003 New Member 09

	david lyon  +  7624 Wed, 10 Sep 03 04:22 PM because when you use the verb 'to do' as an auxilary verb, it takes the third person eg She has a cold. (to have is the main verb, there isn't an auxilary so have becomes has.) eg2 She doesn't have a cold. (to do is the auxilary verb it becomes does, have stays the same) david lyon Joined on Tue, Aug 12 2003 Brindisi, Italia New Member 22 Visit Me Visit My School Verbs

	whl626  +  7653 Thu, 11 Sep 03 03:33 AM I do have money. She does have money. I have money. She has money. Once do or does used, they should go with ' have ' not ' has ' as a rule in grammar. whl626 Joined on Sun, Aug 24 2003 Regular Member 882 Learn English every day Grammar

	Pemmican  +  7711 Thu, 11 Sep 03 04:35 PM Right, you only have to "inflect" one verb in a simple tense (past or present). When there is also a helping verb in the sentence, then this one is inflected while the main verb remains unchanged. He has money. -> "has" is the only verb, so it has to be flected to show which tense or person is used. He does have money. -> "does" is the helping verb, it stresses the meaning of "have" in this sentence and shows which tense and person is used, too. He doesn't have money. -> here, "does" helps to negate the sentence. Also here, it includes the tense and person so it's not necessary to repeat it once more for the full verb. The same is true for the past tense: As soon as you have inflected the helping verb, the main verb remains in its infinitive: He had money. He did have money. He didn't have money.

	CalifJim  +  49062 Tue, 05 Oct 04 07:28 AM There are twenty-eight auxiliary forms in English. (F. R. Palmer: The English Verb) BE: is, are, am, was, were, ("nonfinite forms" be, being, been), HAVE: has, have, had, ("nonfinite forms" have, having), DO: do, does, did, MODALS: will, would, shall, should, can, could, may, might, must, ought, dare, need The auxiliaries BE, HAVE, and DO are inflected for person, number, and tense; the MODALS are invariable. According to some linguists, all English sentences contain an auxiliary, but the auxiliaries "do", "does", and "did" are deleted and their inflections transferred to the main verb under certain circumstances, usually non-emphatic affirmative declaratives.

	nona the brit  +  322786 Thu, 01 Feb 07 11:11 AM Well, your sentence doesn't make a lot of sense so do you mind if I change the nouns a little? The cage has a cage number but the cabinets have no files. the cage - singular so use 'has'. cabinets - plural so use 'have'. nona the brit Joined on Wed, Sep 22 2004 England Veteran Member 11,713 The name says it all.
