使用する際の注意点

In North America, haven't is almost always used only when followed by got or as an auxiliary. Thus I haven't any money would typically be I don't have any money or occasionally I haven't got any money, but very rarely as I haven't any money, which would be more common in British English. Auxiliary use, as in I haven't seen him, is fully standard in all varieties.

同意語

• hain't, han't (both dialectal, 古風な用法)
