How to Use Has in Affirmative Answers about Possession

In the previous chapter, you learned to construct sentences using ‘have’ to ask questions for third-person subjects about the possession of something.

In this lesson, we shall learn how to form affirmative answers about the possession of something using ‘have’ with he, she, it, and any other third-person subject.

Construction of an affirmative answer using ‘has’

The structure of an affirmative answer using ‘has is as follows:

• Yes, + subject (he/she/it/any other singular noun) + has + other words  + full stop (.)

Formation of short answers using ‘does

When a question is asked, short answers are most commonly used.

We use the first verb in a sentence to form the short answer.

In this lesson, we are answering the questions starting with ‘does.

We have already discussed this in the chapter: How to use ‘does have’ to ask questions about possession.

So, the formation of a short affirmative answer is as follows:

• Yes, + subject (he/she/it/any other singular noun) + does.
