Q: Wie sagt man diesen Satz auf Deutsch? A: Englisch ist meine Muttersprache. Ich bin englischsprachig aufgewachsen und bis zur High School kannte ich überhaupt keine Fremdsprachen. Natürlich habe ich einen amerikanischen Akzent (Actually, people wouldn't say that. Like, if you'd come to germany and a german would ask another german about your accent they'd say "Er hat einen englischen Akzent" => english accent. :D) der aus der Region Philadelphia stammt. Manuels version is correct too :D

sarang I think :D

Both forms can express what we own, but also the relationships we have. For example, I have / have got a car and a father. In US english, people use "have" more commonly than they do in british english, there they prefere have got most of the time. Anyway, remember these important points: 'Have' and 'Have got' are used for possession. Example: Jack has got a beautiful house. OR Jack has a beautiful house. Only 'have' is used when talking about actions. Example: I usually have breakfast at 8 o'clock. NOT I usually have got breakfast at 8 o'clock. The question form for 'have' follows regular present simple: Example: Do you have a fast car? NOT Have you a fast car? 'Have' and 'Have got' are only used in the present simple. Use 'have' for the past simple or future forms. Example: She had a copy of that book. There is no contracted form for 'Have' in the positive form. The contracted form is used for 'have got' Example: I have a red bicycle. OR I've got a red bicycle. NOT I've a red bicycle.

In my experience not a too smart thing to do. Atleast if you start off with both at the same time. I did that, and I kept messing up the vocab and pronunciation... :D
