	Grammar Geek  +  578935 Wed, 22 Oct 08 02:04 PM The verb "to have" is often a "helping verb" and is used to create the perfect tenses. However, "to have" is also a legitimate verb in its own right I have a job I like. He has two kids. She had a minor surgical procedures. I was having fun. Therefore, you use the form of "to do" to create questions involving the verb "to have" as you do any other verb. I like to run. Do you like to run? I have a toothcace. Do you have a toothache? I had an appointment yesterday. Did you have an appointment yesterday?     Grammar Geek Joined on Tue, Jan 10 2006 Veteran Member 19,651 Barbara, who answers in American English.
