Good time of this beautiful snowy day to everyone,
I've got a question concerning one of the forms which we use when we ask someone about what they have/have got.
I know that there are two possible forms to ask questions and answer:
Do you have a car?
Have you got a car?
I don't have a car, but I have a bicycle.
I haven't got a car, I've got a bicycle.
Yesterday I bumped into the following form:
Have you a camera?
Have you a dog?
Have you a brother? etc.
I've never heard anyone use this form, but I found it in an English textbook for foreign elementary learners.
Is this form acceptable? Is it formal/informal?
When and how often is it used?
Please see the attached scan.
Thank you.
