First notebook entry: Introducing myself
Hello friends!
I have been studying English for many years. I can read but I make many mistakes when I write something and I cannot speak freely.
As usually I translate texts into Russian or Ukrainian and seldom into English.
Now I study "talking" English by method of Pimsleur and I'm going to study French.
Many years ago I studied English Grammar by Eckersley and now I have some question. Why they say "Do you have any...?" if in the bock it was "Have you any...?"
All the best for you!

This is sort of hard to correct for me, but I will try. You could say it a few different ways. Since I'm not even sure (the sentence is a little strange to begin with), I'm going to just go with this..."Right now, I'm working on improving my oral English, using the "Pimsleur" program. I also plan to study French."

I hope you can understand what I was trying to say. I'm not very organized, and it definitely shows in my writing lol.

Hello, Vladimir.
Well, see here's the thing. In English, sometimes there can be many different ways to ask something. I'm sure there are many different ways to ask for something, or to say something in Russian. Both "Do you have any" and "Have you got any" are correct.
"Have you got any" is something you would most likely hear in the UK, which makes sense, because from the book you're looking at, I can assume it's a British book.
So "Do you have any" is more American-English, whereas "Have you got any" is more British-English.
