Thank you for the reply. I would like to know that what rule(s) stated about we use have after the questions begin with "Did".
1. She has a car now.
2. Did she have a car last year?
3. How many cars does she have?
That's not exactly the reason. You could say, "Has she a car?" - although I don't use this form.Hi
If you mean why we use have in question not has, well because it's a question.
That's not exactly the reason. You could say, "Has she a car?" - although I don't use this form.
The reason for "have" in "Does she have a car" is that the auxiliary form 'does' is the one which inflects for number and person, not the infinitive 'have'.
"She does have a car" is not a question, but it is still the auxiliary that changes - ie. not "She does has a car".
"Has she a car" is perfectly grammatical, but it is neither common nor informal. It ws the standard in moderately formal British English some fifty years ago. Some of us who were brought up in those times still use it.By the way "has she a car?" is just common in informal speaking? It isn't grammatical,is it?
