Have Got / Has Got

The correct answer is "They have got good news" because the subject "they" is plural, so the verb "have" should be used instead of "has" which is used for singular subjects. Additionally, the use of "have got" is a common way to express possession or acquisition of something, so it is the appropriate phrase to use in this context.

The correct answer is "I have got a good friend." This is because the verb "have" is used to indicate possession, and in this case, the speaker is expressing that they possess a good friend. The use of "have" is preferred over "has" because "I" is the subject pronoun, and "has" is used with third-person singular subjects.

The correct answer is "shirley has got a very nice dress." This is because "shirley" is a singular subject, so the verb "has" should be used instead of "have." Additionally, "has got" is a common way to express possession in British English.

The correct answer is "My father and mother have got a new car." This is because when we are referring to multiple people as the subject of a sentence, we use the plural form of the verb "have" instead of the singular form "has." In this case, both the father and mother are the subject, so "have" is the correct verb to use.

The correct answer is "Jerry and Thomas have got blond hair." This is because when referring to multiple people, the verb "have" should be used instead of "has." "Have" is the correct plural form of the verb, indicating that both Jerry and Thomas possess blond hair.
