Hi,

O, we come to trouble!

To the example of the entry of [have] which is in the definition :to show / appear as part of one's character or personality,

we can find these sentences.

a. He has a good memory / a bad temper.

b. She's got no imagination.

BUt you say [having the skill] as [possessing the skill].

If that so, the example : He
