Hi teachers,
Could 'b' be a good explantion to 'a'?
a) You aren't wearing a tie.
b) You haven’t on a tie.
Thanks in advance
No. 'You haven't (got) a tie on'. It's not really an explanation of a; it's simply a different way of conveying the message.
Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.
Hi,
Thanks once again.
So then, it is also wrong to say:
She has on a bikini.
I should say, 'She has a bikini on'.
Could you tell me why 'on' can't be after has / have?
But a good way to convey 'wear / wearing' is to say 'have on', isn't it?
