 usage of the word "having" I am Sanjay from Bangalore in India. I would like to know the usage of the word having. Is the usage having restricted to eating and drinking? e.g. I am having breakfast or I am having tea. Or can we use the word having in other situations as well? Also, can this word be used to indicate ownership e.g. having a car. More light on the same would be appreciated. Regards, Sanjay Last edited by sanarb; 11-Jun-2005 at 06:17. |

 Re: usage of the word "having" HAVE has a basic meaning-possessing, owning However it also means eat-"having lunch", drink "having coffee" or experience "having good time" You can't say "having a car" because when HAVE means "possession" it usually isn't found in progressive, i.e. it won't take "-ing" Correct me if I'm wrong-anyone. |

| Re: usage of the word "having" I agree with TrustM. For ownership, we rarely use the progressive form as ownership is permanent not temporary. |
