    COI{VER,SATION

    DinoSimon

    Dino Do you usually have breakfast in the morning. Simon?Simon Of course! I'm very hungry when- I get up in the morning.Dino And what do you have for your breakfast?Simon My b.reakfast is not a snack, but a real meal, Dino. First I have a juice, usually

    grapefruit. I like its sour taste. Then I have an egg and fried tomatoes. Do youlike fried tomatoes, Dino?Yes, birt not in the morning.They are delicious, particularly in the morning: After my egg and tomatoes Iusually have tea with a couple of pieces of toast with marmalade on them. Mar-malade is very nice on toast, I prefer it to jam. I suppose you know that mar-malade is made of oranges, or other citrous fruits, 1 while jam is made of everyother kind of fruit. My breakfast finishes with another cup of tea, and then I'mall right. 2Dino How can you eat all that in the morning, Simon?

    Simon I'm always very hungry when I get up in the morning, as I said before; besides,I usually have a very light meal at midday. I think it is very reasonable! If youeat a lot at midday, you feel sleepy and you want to have a nap.

    Dino Perhaps you're right, Simon. But it is difficult to change one's habits, don't youthink so?

    1. To have viene usato, oltre che per tradurre avere (solo o come ausiliare'1, anche conil significato di-fare, prendere, dovere, e per tradurre verbi italiani quali pran4,are,cenare, divertirsi, ecc. In questi casi particolari to have non ausiliare ma verbo'pieno,e di conseguenza impiega to do nelle forme negative od intenogative.Did you have tea or coffee for breakfast? Hai preso t o caff per colazione?I didn't have supper last night Non cenai ieri seraWhat did you have for dinner? Che cosa aveste (prendeste) a pranzo?Students don't have to go to school on Gli studenti non debbono andare a scuolail sabato

    2. Quando to have usato solo (quindi non come ausiliare), con il significato di svere opossedere, esso viene. usato preferibilmente senza to do (nelle forme negative ed inter-rogotive) nell'inglese usato in Gran Bretagna, e con to do nell'inglese degli Stati Uniti.Has she blue eyes? (ingl.)Does she have blue eyes? (amer.)How many children have they? (ingl.)Flow many children do they have? (amer.)

    3. Comunissimo nell'lnglese colloquiale I'uso di got Qtarticipio passato di to get, ma quiusato pleonasticamente) dopo to have. Le forme contratte sono per lo pi di rigore inquesto caso. L'ausiliare to do non viene mai usato in questo caso, owiamente.Got pu essere usato con to have solo quando quest'ultimo ha il significato di avere odovere.

    Ha occhi blu?

    Quanti figli hanno?

    Have you got a light?Have you got the time?I've got a friend in LondonI've got to go nowHave you got to go there?194
