TO BE TO HAVE TO DO

В английском языке глаголы to be, to have, to do являются многофункциональными.

Следует помнить, что модальные конструкции: to be to, to have to имеют одинаковое значение должен, однако с разными оттенками долженствования. E.g. I am to go there. – Я обязан ( должен по плану, по договорённости) поехать туда. I have to go there. – Я вынужден поехать туда ( должен вместо Н., который заболел ).

have, have+got, do+have[1 - Новое в грамматике современного английского языка Г.А. Вейхман, Москва, «Астрель», 2002]

Форма have без got и do сохраняется в устной и письменной формах официально-делового стиля. Например:

Have you an appointment?

Однако неосложненное have постепенно вытесняется формами с got и do.

Например:

Have you got the money? ( обладание)

Do you have the money?

I’ve got a new car.

She hasn’t got a car.

He has got a brother. ( родственные отношения)
