Has mind

[tufguy]

Hi guys,

Can we say "He has mind it"?

 

[Rover_KE]

No.

What form of the verb do we use in phrases like "He has", tufguy?

 

[tufguy]

Did I need to use "Minded". I thought it was an irregular verb.

 

[Rover_KE]

'Mind' is a regular verb.

In what context are you using it here?

 

[tufguy]

He didn't mind it. He minds it if I ask him about his wife. "I asked him about his wife today and he has mind it". Is it correct or not?

 

[bhaisahab]

No.

It's not a very natural sentence anyway but to make it grammatical, you would say "I asked him about his wife today and he really minded" or "... he minded me/my asking".

There is another sense of 'minded (which has nothing to do with caring about something), but it is rarely used now: you could say 'He is minded to do it'. But note that this is invariable; you can't inflect the fossilized verb. This sort of 'minded' is typically used by judges before their summing up: 'I am minded to acquit but will review the testimony before I pass sentence.'

You could also 'He has it in mind to do it' (meaning he's thinking of doing it).
