Lesson 12: Unit 12 - have got. Appearance / Character

About this lesson

In this lesson you will master the grammatical structure 'have got', which means 'to have' or 'to possess'. You will learn the full and short forms for all persons – singular and plural – and understand when 'has got' is used instead of 'have got'. You will expand your vocabulary with words for appearance: hair colour and type, eye colour and build. Finally, you will practise describing people by following a model, reading a text about Doug's birthday and answering questions about him.

We learn the structure 'have got' (to have / to possess) in its full and short forms, vocabulary for appearance, hair and eye colour and character traits, and we practise with a text and descriptions of people.
