Hello !
Well, I have a question that annoy me a lot !!
Would you mind telling me the difference between I don't have and I haven't ? Please answer for my question !
and Thank you !
Hello,
This is a very good question.
Grammatically, according to the grammar books I checked, the negation of "have" is "don't/ doesn't have". For example, I have an apple; I don't have an apple.
So basically, we usually use "don't have" when it's followed by a noun. ( e.g. I don't have time; he doesn't have a job) And we use "haven't" when it's followed by a verb (e.g. I haven't visited Japan yet; she hasn't finished work yet)
