Hello everybody,
I have a problem with this:
1. "He knows this man./How long has he known this man?"
2. "He has a car./How long has he had a car?"
In both these examples we use "How long+Present Perfect" to ask about the continuity. But I do not undestand why we cannot use the same structure with "have got":
"He has got a car./How long has he got a car?" (I think it's wrong)
I think that "How long HAS HE HAD a car.'" will be correct, but then why can't I use "has got" as it is also Present Perfect?
Thank you.
