В русском языке мы говорим: "У меня есть", для перевода на английский язык это предложение необходимо перефразировать таким образом, чтобы в нем появилось слово "иметь", т. е. "Я имею".

У него есть кот. (Он имеет кота.) Не has a cat.

Форма have got является разговорным эквивалентом глагола have.

I have a cat. – У меня есть кот. I have got a cat. – У меня есть кот.

Отрицательное предложение образуется путем постановки частицы not после глагола to have (has).

He has (got) a cat. – У него есть кот. Не has not got a cat. – У него нет кота. Не hasn't (got) a cat. (Краткая форма.)

Отрицательные предложения также могут образовываться следующим образом:

I have a cat. У него есть кот. I have no cat. У меня нет кота.

Не has a cat. У него есть кот. Не has no cat. У него нет кота.

Обратите внимание на отсутствие неопределенного артикля а в данной конструкции.

Вопросительное предложение образуется путем постановки глагола have (has) на первое место; подлежащее будет на втором месте.
