Teacher Help · Stage 1

Do not ask for private information. Offer fictional people, rooms or bags when the learner prefers not to discuss family or possessions.

Stage 2 · Match have got or has got to the subject

The subject—not the noun after got—chooses have or has.

5 minutes
STUDENT TASK
Subject groupFull formSpoken form
II have got a laptop.I’ve got a laptop.

Finish evidenceEight subject choices, four spoken forms and two corrections.
Teacher Help · Stage 2

Point back to the subject before prompting the auxiliary. Avoid explaining third-person agreement beyond what the learner needs today.

Stage 3 · Build negatives, questions and short answers

Move have or has before the subject; do not repeat got in a short answer.

5 minutes
STUDENT TASK
StatementNegativeQuestion + short answer
You have got a car.You haven’t got a car.Have you got a car? Yes, I have.
Mina has got a sister.Mina hasn’t got a sister.Has Mina got a sister? No, she hasn’t.

Finish evidenceFour complete statement-negative-question-answer sets.
Teacher Help · Stage 3

Use hand movement to show have/has moving before the subject. Accept full answers in real conversation, but practise the short-answer pattern explicitly here.

Stage 4 · Listen and map who has what

Listen for the subject first, then the possession or relationship.

5 minutes
STUDENT TASK

A useful exchange has a question, answer, extra detail and listening check.

5 minutes
